The Clearing Corporation Charitable Foundation (CCCF) Agribusiness Scholars program provides selected students matriculating at the Rutgers School of Environmental and Biological Science with the applied knowledge, leadership qualities, analytical skills, and experiences required for successful careers in the domestic and global agribusiness sector. By integrating coursework, experiential learning, and engagement with agribusiness leaders, students accepted into the Agribusiness Scholars program will develop in-depth understanding of the issues driving agricultural markets and the performance of the agribusiness sector.
