Building a more equitable future, one student at a time.

As part of Cargill’s commitment to diversity, equity and inclusion, the Cargill University thrive Program was created to break down some of the barriers to success faced by many college students. By working alongside select university partners, the Cargill University thrive Program hopes to ensure more equitable access to careers in Business, Agriculture, Science, Technology, Engineering and Mathematics (STEM) for women and historically underserved students.

With a focus on universities serving these students, the Cargill University thrive Program provides financial support through scholarships as well as mentorship, development programming and career coaching to encourage long-term success. The end goal is to help participating students convert their education into meaningful careers. 

Important partnerships lead to great results.

The Cargill University thrive Program is currently being offered at select historically black colleges and universities (HBCUs), a Hispanic-serving institution (HSI), long-standing Cargill partner institutions and through select National Minority Organizations (NMOs)

  • Historically black colleges and universities (HBCUs): Alcorn State University and Tuskegee University
  • Hispanic-serving institution: Texas A&M University
  • Long-standing Cargill partner institutions: Iowa State University, Kansas State University and University of Minnesota
  • National Minority Organizations (NMOs): Minorities in Agriculture, Natural Resources and Related Sciences (MANRRS) and the Association of Latino Professionals For America (ALPFA)
