Washington, D.C. — U.S. Senator Jon Ossoff today released the following statement after the Trump Administration suspended funding for Georgia HBCU students who support agriculture.
“The Trump Administration’s suspension of funding for Georgia HBCU students who support Georgia agriculture is wrong and hurts our state.
“This program has been a lifeline for HBCU students in Georgia, providing learning opportunities at Fort Valley State University and empowering young Georgians who are excited and committed to contribute to our agricultural industry’s growth and innovation.
“I urge the Trump Administration to immediately reinstate this funding to ensure that Georgia HBCU students receive the support Congress directed to them.”
