Since 2010, National Crop Insurance Services (NCIS) and its member companies have invested in students through over 25 scholarships through the NCIS 1890 Scholarship Program. This exceptional program honors eligible students attending one of the 19 historically black land-grant institutions to pursuit of a professional career in agriculture. Those selected must also demonstrate excellence within the classroom, extracurricular activities and a desire to give back to their communities.
