The CHS Foundation is committed to cultivating opportunities in the agriculture sector. Through university partnerships, it aims to support students pursuing agricultural studies by providing program support, mini-grants, and scholarships. The foundation's efforts are geared toward enhancing education and leadership development within the agricultural community.
The CHS Foundation's grant program, under the University Partnerships initiative, focuses on benefiting students enrolled in agricultural-related programs. It offers more than 225 annual scholarships to students at both two- and four-year colleges and universities that partner with the foundation. In addition to scholarships, mini-grants are available for agriculture-focused college clubs, aimed at fostering innovative academic and leadership development projects. All scholarships and mini-grants are accessible exclusively through 24 partner colleges and universities, each having its own application and award timelines.
