Program Description

The HSF/Monsanto Fund Scholarship Program is a scholarship of $10,000 per year. Selected students will receive $10,000 for one academic year, renewable the following year upon confirmation of continued eligibility. Although not a requirement, preference will be given to students who are participants of a College Assistance Migrant Program (CAMP).

In addition, interested students can apply to be considered for a paid internship or co-op opportunities. Please follow these steps in order to apply for the internships or co-ops available:
