With grants totaling more than $47,000,000, the College of Agricultural Sciences and Natural Resources at the University of Nebraska-Lincoln is partnering with various associations and foundations to provide educational opportunities for Rwandan students to participate in the CASNR Undergraduate Scholars Program. In support of a Practical Agriculture Institute in Rwanda, Rwandan students are identified and selected to participate in CUSP to pursue a Bachelor of Science degree in integrated science – an individualized program of study focused on conservation agriculture, entrepreneurship, leadership and innovative thinking. The students’ degree programs are specifically designed to be relevant to Rwandan agricultural production and the country’s goal of building resilience into its agricultural ecosystems. CASNR dean Tiffany Heng-Moss leads this effort.
