FFA awarded more than $1.5 million in scholarships to 974 recipients. The FFA scholarships were not only available to students pursuing two-year or four-year degrees, but also those going for a vocational certification or a specialized training program. The average recipient had a GPA of 3.7 on a 4.0 scale.
This was the 37th year for the scholarship program, which started back in 1984 with 16 scholarships. Since then, more than $50 million have gotten awarded in scholarship funds. The selection process considers FFA involvement, work experience, supervised agricultural experiences, community service, leadership skills, academic performance, and financial need.
“We know that our FFA members are the next generation of leaders who will change the world,” says Michele Sullivan, senior manager of local engagement. “These scholarships are just one more way to support them on the next steps in their educational journeys.” New information on the 2022 FFA Scholarships will be released later this year.
