Project AgGrad fully funds fellowships for its students at the University of Minnesota.  The annual cost is about $55,000.  In addition, we pay for cost of the flights for the student to come to Minnesota and to return home after the completion of their studies, and other incidental student related expenses. Your support has changed the lives of our students and has enabled them to help create a better future for the people in their homelands.
