Overview

The NAPB Borlaug Undergraduate Scholars program, established by the National Association of Plant Breeders, aims to cultivate future leaders in plant breeding. Open to undergraduates in relevant disciplines, the program provides mentorship opportunities and financial support for travel to the NAPB Annual Meeting. Those eligible must be current undergraduates and may not have received similar scholarships previously. This initiative fosters professional development and engagement in the field of plant improvement.

National Association for Plant Breeding
We are led by an all-volunteer team nominated and elected by the membership.
The NAPB has a diverse membership of public and private sector scientists working to improve a wide variety of plants and graduate students working towards advanced degrees in plant breeding.
The National Association for Plant Breeding was formed as an organization to advance excellence in research, education and outreach in the field of plant improvement.
The Borlaug Scholars program for undergraduate students was established by the National Association of Plant Breeders (NAPB) and is funded through the Agronomic Science Foundation (ASF). Undergraduates attending U.S. universities who are in upper level undergraduate programs in plant breeding related disciplines and are seeking to further their education in plant breeding or genetics following their B.S. degree, are encouraged to apply for this scholarship. Self-nominations are encouraged. Borlaug Scholars will be paired with volunteer mentors who are professional NAPB members committed to the professional development of the recipients. Each recipient will receive financial support for travel, lodging, and meals to participate in the NAPB Annual Meeting (or similar, if virtual meetings). Gratis meeting registration and student membership in NAPB, for non-members, is included.
