Thirty-four Nebraska FFA chapters, agricultural classrooms or FFA members were awarded funds through the Nebraska FFA Foundation grant program with nearly $97,000 awarded in total grant funding.
This grant program, in its seventh year, supports Nebraska agricultural education classrooms, FFA programs and individual student entrepreneurship Supervised Agricultural Experiences (SAE). Each year, funds are provided by the Nebraska FFA Foundation and its general fund donors. Many other generous supporters partnered this year and are listed below. This year we received 67 grant applications with 39 of those applications being for SAE projects and the rest for agricultural classrooms, FFA chapters or school based enterprises.
“We are committed to growing support of FFA members innovative Supervised Agricultural Experiences are local FFA and/agricultural education classroom needs. Funding these needs are critical to building students’ success toward career ready skills and our future workforce,” said Stacey Agnew, Nebraska FFA Foundation Executive Director.
Many of these grant recipients will be showcased on the Nebraska FFA Foundation website and social media through the next couple of years. Applications for the 2024 Nebraska FFA Foundation Grant Program will open in April.
