Proficiency Awards
The Agricultural Proficiency Awards honor FFA members who, through their SAEs (Supervised Agricultural Experience), have developed specialized skills that they can apply toward their future careers.
Students can compete for awards in 49 areas covering everything from Agricultural Communications to Wildlife Management. Each award area has two categories, placement and entrepreneurship.
Placement proficiency awards are given to those whose SAEs are related to employment, apprenticeships, or internships at an agribusiness or agriculture-related organization.
Entrepreneurship proficiency awards are given to those whose SAEs are related to ownership of an agribusiness or agriculture-related organization.
Proficiency awards are given out at the local, state and national levels.
