Delaware State University announces new Scholarship to help support agriculture students

DOVER, Del. – Delaware State University is announcing a new scholarship aimed at boosting and supporting students studying agriculture at the HBCU.

The $22,500 scholarship comes from the Delaware State Grange, a chapter of the National Grange.

This non-profit organization advocates for rural America and agriculture and brings rural communities together through community service.

The members of the Delaware State Grange unanimously agreed to establish the endowed scholarship fund at DSU to provide financial assistance to future generations of farmers and agriculture professionals and to promote awareness of the organization’s dedication to strengthening rural communities.

“We have currently at Delaware State University almost 200 agriculture natural resource majors here at Delaware State University. So I think that the Grange is interesting in, developing more agriculture professionals to preserve agriculture,” said DSU Historian and Spokesman Carlos Holmes.

The scholarship will be awarded beginning in the 2026-2027 school year.
