  • The Cooperative Extension System

    The Cooperative Extension System is run through land-grant universities and provides researched-based programs and resources for residents withing their state. There is at least one land-grant institution in every state and territory of the United States, as well as the District of Columbia. Each one is designated by the state legislature or Congress to receive benefits of the Morrill Acts of 1862, 1890, and 1994, which established three institutional categories.
    

    • The 1862 Institutions are the first land-grant institutions.
    • The 1890 Institutions are historically Black colleges and universities (HBCUs).
    • The 1994 Institutions are tribal colleges and universities (TCUs).
      

    Later legislation also recognized additional institutional categories, including non-land-grant colleges of agriculture (NLGCAs) and Hispanic-serving agricultural colleges and universities (HSACUs), for specific programs.
