The NBTS grant program may support tribal students by fostering a path from secondary to postsecondary education to allow for an inviting space for tribal students to attend Land-Grant colleges and universities.
Any student in any discipline can be funded under this project if they are taking or have taken general education requirements in the STEM field that are required in any of the agriculture sciences.
