This year marks the 32nd year for the National FFA Organization and Foundation scholarship program, and this year’s awards totaled more than $2.6 million in scholarships to 1,791 recipients. The generosity of the program’s 116 sponsors were instrumental in making this year’s program so successful.

More than 8,300 students applied online for the scholarships, and many applicants were considered for multiple awards. Approximately one in every five students who applied was awarded a scholarship. Students pursuing two-year and four-year degrees, as well as vocational programs were qualified to apply for scholarships, and the average recipient had a GPA of 3.75 on a 4.0 scale. The selection process takes into account the whole student, including FFA involvement, work experience, supervised agricultural experience, community service, leadership skills and academics.

The scholarship program began in 1984 with 16 scholarships offered, and since then, more than $44 million has been awarded in scholarship funds through the National FFA Organization. A list of recipients is available online at the FFA scholarship results page. Recipients are listed first by the state in which their high school is located then alphabetically by student last name.
