The Cargill-Purdue Agribusiness Science Academy High School Camp (C-PASA) and AgDiscovery Camp are free summer residential experiences hosted by Purdue Agriculture’s Office of Multicultural Programs. The programs focus on providing rising 10th through 12th graders with an overview of agriculture, natural resources, and related sciences. Dependent on their program, participants engage in academic sessions with Purdue Agriculture's academic and administrative departments, the College of Veterinary Medicine, and the U.S.D.A. Agricultural Research Service. They will also visit industry partners, farms, and other agriculture-related spaces. The programs focus on ensuring participants understand the breadth of agriculture and the wonderful potential for college majors and lifelong careers.

Students apply to C-PASA through Summer College for High School Students.

Students apply to AgDiscovery through the USDA, and will later submit an application to Summer College for High School Students if selected to participate.

High school students selected to participate in either program will receive a scholarship to cover the cost of tuition, fees, room, and board for the duration of the two-week program. Students will be responsible for the $60 application fee (unless eligible for a fee waiver) and their travel to and from Purdue University's West Lafayette campus.
