The USPOULTRY Foundation recently awarded a $2,310 student recruiting grant to Prairie View A&M University in Texas. The grant was made possible in part by an endowing USPOULTRY Foundation gift from Pilgrim’s.
Prairie View A&M University will use the funds provided by the grant to support travel to Texas A&M University, local poultry farms and other local poultry industry visits. These efforts will allow Prairie View A&M students to gain exposure to poultry industry career fields, aiding in retention of existing students and the recruitment of other animal science students into the poultry field.
