Attention all 5th, 6th & 7th grade parents:

From KY PTA - for YOUR STUDENT!
Kentucky State University is one of the college campuses across the country hosting an AgDiscovery program on its campus June 14 – 27 in Frankfort for students between the ages of 12 and 16. Ag-Discovery is an outreach program to help teenagers learn about careers in animal science, veterinary medicine, agribusiness, plant pathology and wildlife management. They study the life cycles and habits of insects (entomologists); research microorganisms, such as bacteria and viruses (biotechnologists); examine cells and tissues under a microscope to identify diseases (plant pathologists); work to conserve and manage wild animals and their habitats (wildlife biologists); carry out animal health programs (veterinarians); and provide leadership and education on the humane care and treatment of animals (veterinarians and animal care inspectors).
The AgDiscovery program is a 2 week summer boarding program allows participants ages 12-17 to live on a college campus and learn about Agricultural science from university professors, practicing veterinarians and professionals working for the U.S. Government. Students chosen to participate in AgDiscovery will gain experience through hands-on labs, workshops, field trips and other group and team building activities. Students also will participate in character and team-building activities and diversity workshops.
The university will make a variety of animal species available to the AgDiscovery participants. Every participant will work with live animals during this summer program. The students will learn what it feels like to be a veterinarian through hands-on experiences.
AgDiscovery is a unique opportunity for students to gain a first-hand look at the many career paths open to them in the agricultural sciences. For those interested in an agricultural career, AgDiscovery is a great way to get started!
Students selected for the 2009 AgDiscovery summer session will pay only the cost of their transportation to get from home to the college campus for the start of the session and back again at the end of the session. The cost of tuition, room and board, and lab supplies for the 2-week program will be covered by various offices within APHIS.
A complete application package must be submitted to APHIS that is postmarked no later than April 17, 2009. APHIS will not accept application packages that are postmarked after that date and/or are incomplete. Students must submit a two-page essay entitled “Why I Want to Attend the AgDiscovery Program and What I Want to Learn.” Included in the essay In the essay should be information on interests and hobbies and an explanation on what you want to do when you grow up. Additionally, three character reference letters must be included.
