Scholarships & Opportunities

The University of Kentucky, College of Agriculture has a group called Jr. MANNRS. Their goal is to increase the number of underrepresented groups in Agriculture related careers. Please share or have students see me in room 618 if they have an interest in Agriculture. I would love for Dunbar to have a group of students attend this conference.

Several years ago, we had a student attend this conference. Her name is Antyana C. After attending this conference it opened up so many doors and connections for her. Now this young lady is a junior at Kentucky State University doing great things!
