The Wendell Scott Foundation

Camp Cultivation-The Wendell Scott Foundation partnered with the United States Department of Agricultures Natural Resources Conservation Service (NRCS) to create Camp Cultivation, an agriculture and STEM summer camp on June 23-25, 2019. The residential camp was held at Virginia State University (VSU) and was designed to provide students who are typically underrepresented in agricultural and STEM disciplines an opportunity to learn more about the various career paths that could be available to them if they pursued an agriculture or STEM degree. During the camp students also had sessions with staff from admissions and financial aid. They were able to provide students with important information about applying to VSU.
