The Chobani Scholars Program was created to support students pursuing studies in agriculture, including food and animal science. Since its inception in 2019, the program has selected undergraduate students in the College of Agriculture and Life Sciences from New York as Chobani scholars, each receiving a $20,000 scholarship.

We invited the Chobani scholars from the class of 2029 to share how the program is helping them reach their goals and reflect on their first year at CALS. Click on their profiles below to hear their stories.
