A party-list group is pushing for the passage of a measure encouraging more students to take agriculture, forestry, and fisheries degree programs with support from the government and empower them to be “agripreneurs” scholars.

Under the proposed House Bill 2419 or the “Agripreneurs Scholarship Program Act,” an Integrated Agripreneurs Scholarship Program will be established in State Universities and Colleges in partnership with private higher educational institutions.

The student financial assistance shall cover tuition and other school fees; allowance for prescribed books, supplies and equipment; clothing or uniform allowance; allowance for dormitory or boarding house accommodation, or transportation allowance, whichever is more applicable; internship fees, including financial assistance during the required internship period; licensure exam fees, if applicable, of the scholar concerned taken within one year after graduation, and subsistence or living...

Another component of the scholarship program is a mandatory return service program to help improve the agricultural system of the country, the bill said.
