Scholarships for Students at 1890 Institutions (1890 Scholarships)
Solicitation # USDA-NIFA-1890SS-011978
The 1890 Scholarships Program, administered by the National Institute of Food and Agriculture under the U.S. Department of Agriculture, provides financial support to undergraduate and graduate students at 1890 Land-grant institutions to pursue degrees in food and agricultural sciences, with the goal of building a skilled workforce in these critical fields. This grant opportunity, solicited under number USDA-NIFA-1890SS-011978, is open to institutions seeking funding to recruit, retain, mentor, and train students through scholarships covering tuition, mandatory fees, room and board, and textbooks. Applications must be submitted via Grants.gov by September 10, 2026, and are evaluated on four equally weighted factors: potential to strengthen the food and agricultural workforce, quality and clarity of the proposal, effectiveness of program management including mentoring and retention strategies, and capacity for reporting and program evaluation. Awards are not based on cost or price, and cost sharing is neither required nor considered during review. Proposals must include a project narrative of no more than fifteen pages plus two additional pages for figures and tables, an institutional letter verifying alignment with the institution’s strategic plan, a data management plan addressing student confidentiality, and a table of expected outcomes integrated into the narrative. Funding is restricted to direct student support costs, with no indirect costs allowed and graduate student funding capped at 30% of the annual award. Key personnel changes, budget modifications, and subcontracting exceeding 50% of funds require prior approval from NIFA, and salary rates may not exceed Executive Level IV without authorization. Institutions must comply with 2 CFR Part 200, 2 CFR Chapter IV, and 7 CFR Part 3430, and manage all data and reporting in accordance with federal guidelines. The total estimated funding available ranges from $21.2 million to $67.2 million across multiple years, contingent on appropriations and program performance. No contract-type clauses, packaging requirements, or invoicing systems apply as this is a federal grant, not a procurement contract, and oversight is handled through grant administration protocols rather than traditional contracting mechanisms.

Higher Education Challenge Grants Program
Solicitation # USDA-NIFA-CGP-011315
The Higher Education Challenge Grants Program, administered by the National Institute of Food and Agriculture under the U.S. Department of Agriculture, aims to strengthen institutional capacities in food and agricultural sciences education at the master’s, doctorate, and first professional degree levels, particularly in veterinary medicine. This funding opportunity, identified as USDA-NIFA-CGP-011315, invites applications for Standard Grants, Collaborative Grant Type 1, and Collaborative Grant Type 2, with maximum award amounts of $150,000, $300,000, and $750,000 respectively. The program prioritizes innovations in curriculum development, faculty advancement, scientific instrumentation, student recruitment and retention, and multi-institutional collaboration to build a sustainable pipeline of skilled professionals in critical agricultural disciplines. All proposals must align with USDA’s definition of teaching and education and address one of 16 designated Educational Need Areas. Mandatory requirements include a detailed logic model, mentoring plan, data management plan, conflict of interest disclosures, and non-Federal cost-sharing or matching funds, with no more than 50% of funds allowed to be subcontracted without prior approval. Applications must be submitted electronically through Grants.gov by the October 15, 2026 deadline and adhere to strict formatting and naming conventions for each component, including a 250-word project summary, a 20-page narrative with supplemental figures and tables, and supporting documents such as biographical sketches and current and pending support disclosures. Evaluation is based on five equally weighted criteria: potential for advancing education quality, proposed approach and collaborative linkages, institutional capacity and sustainability, qualifications of key personnel, and budget cost-effectiveness, with awards determined through a trade-off process favoring technical merit over cost. Performance sites are specified by applicants but administrative functions are directed to Kansas City, Missouri. Payment will be processed via the Automated Standard Application for Payments system, and continuation requires demonstrated institutional commitment and plans for long-term integration beyond federal funding. The program does not involve procurement contracts, and therefore does not include FAR clauses, line-item pricing, or delivery schedules; instead, it operates under 2 CFR 200 and 7 CFR 3430 as a federal assistance award focused on educational capacity building.
