UMC to hold Northern Great Plains Youth Institute in May 2018
Affiliated with the World Food Prize established by University of Minnesota Alumnus Norman Borlaug, (who was the recipient of the Nobel Prize for his work in alleviating hunger and is credited with saving more than a billion lives through his work in the Green Revolution), this is an event for high school students. Participants in the Northern Great Plains Youth Institute research a global issue and write a two-three page paper under the supervision of a teacher or mentor. All high school student participants in the Northern Great Plains Youth Institute who ultimately enroll at UMC will receive a $500 scholarship.
