2015 National FFA Scholarship Recipients Announced

The National FFA Organization and Foundation has announced more than $2.7 million in scholarships awarded to 2,152 recipients – made possible thanks to the generosity of 127 sponsors.

More than 7,000 students applied for the scholarships, with many of the applicants being considered for multiple scholarships. They were able to apply for the scholarships online, and approximately one of every three who applied was awarded a scholarship. The scholarships available ranged for either two-year or four-year degrees or vocational programs. The average recipient had a GPA of 3.75 on a 4.0 scale and were in the top 15 percent of their class.

Help Locate These 2014 Unclaimed FFA Scholarship Recipients

The 2015 application for the National FFA Organization Scholarship Program is now available, but we’re still trying to get in touch with a few FFA members who haven’t claimed their educational assistance from 2014. Can you help?

Check out the list below and see if you know any of the FFA members listed. If you do, let them know that they need to contact FFA! Editor’s note: All scholarships have been accounted for in the 2014 cycle. Thank you for your help!

Thank you Tractor Supply Co. and Del’s Feed and Farm Supply!

Last month customers at Tractor Supply Co and Del’s Farm and Feed Supply were asked to purchase paper FFA emblems to as part of the FFA: Growing Scholars program.

Those efforts raised a grand total of $362,324!

These funds will help provide scholarship to FFA members across the country.

Thanks so much to Tractor Supply and Del’s employees and customers. We truly appreciate your support!

Pfizer Animal Health raises more than $1 million for FFA chapters and veterinary scholarships

We just got some great news!

Pfizer Animal Health will be contributing $1,052,720 dollars to the National FFA Foundation through their support program.

The program, now in its second year, connects FFA members with local veterinarians in order to help them learn more about the animal health industry.  A portion of purchases from Pfizer Animal Health cattle and equine products will be donated to behalf of local veterinarians to the FFA chapters of their choice.  The funds will help FFA chapters travel to educational and leadership seminars and plan chapter activities.

The total amount raised this year, beat last year’s record by more than $200,000! We are incredibly grateful to Pfizer Animal Health and all of the veterinarians who continue to support FFA. Through generous gifts such as these, we can ensure that all students are given the opportunities they need to grow and succeed.
