The ¶¶Òõ¶ÌÊÓƵ Cargill thrive scholarship program was created to ensure more equitable access for women and minority students in Science, Technology, Engineering, and Mathematics (STEM), as well as agriculture and business. Focused on universities serving minority students, the thrive program provides financial support through scholarships and expands further to encourage long-term academic success through mentoring, development programming, and career coaching. The goal is to help participating students convert their education into meaningful careers.
The Cargill thrive Scholarship provides students with financial support and additional development, mentorship, and networking opportunities throughout the year, including a trip to Cargill’s Headquarters in Minneapolis, MN for a 2-day development and networking event in the spring/summer*
*Note: Trip is contingent on current CDC and Cargill Policy as it relates to the COVID pandemic.
