The Tropics Foundation raises scholarship funds for students to study at the Tropical Agricultural Research and Higher Education Center (CATIE) in Turrialba, Costa Rica. Many of the students we support come from rural, agricultural backgrounds. These future leaders, decision makers and influencers understand the region’s socioeconomic, agricultural and environmental challenges and are uniquely positioned to contribute to solutions.
