WVSU Youth Summit on Agriculture

From the farm to the laboratory to the classroom to the office, careers in agriculture, environmental science and natural resources take many forms. 

Are you a high school student interested in careers in agriculture, environmental science and natural resources? We’ll share how WVSU can help make your career goals a reality, including opportunities for full and partial scholarships.

Join us for our inaugural Youth Summit to interact with WVSU professors, researchers and extension agents; learn about opportunities in agriculture, environmental science and natural resources at WVSU; and get details about our 1890 Scholarship Program
