To contribute to the countryโ€™s manpower requirements in agriculture and related fields by supporting BS students, the Department of Agriculture โ€“ Bureau of Agricultural Research has been implementing an Undergraduate Scholarship Program through the Institutional Development Division. This is in partnership with the University of the Philippines Los Baรฑos through the Office of the Vice Chancellor for Academic Affairs (UPLB OVCAA) and UPLB Foundation Inc. (UPLBFI).

The program was launched by DA-BAR and UPLB in 2012 and was initially for BS Agriculture and BS Agricultural Biotechnology students. In 2015, the scholarship was made available to students taking other agriculture-related courses, namely, BS Food Technology and BS Development Communication. To date, six batches having a total of 73 scholars have been supported through BAR.
