There are a number of scholarships available to students in agriculture and human environmental sciences made possible by generous gifts from many firms and individuals. Most scholarships require students to be enrolled full-time, which is 12 hours per semester. A college scholarship application must be submitted to the Dean's office by the March 15th deadline each year. Many departments have their own applications which they also require. A book listing various outside scholarships is kept in the Dean's office for reference.
