FFA Degrees
FFA Degrees
Through successful SAE completion student's can earn FFA Degrees. The first degree earned by all first year members is the Greenhand Degree. Once a student reaches their second year and earns $150 with their SAE project they can earn their chapter degree. The third degree is the State FFA degree and requires members to earn and invest $1000 in their projects while working at minimum of 500 hours as well as participate in a minimum of 25 hours of community service. Only 5% of FFA members in the state ever earn their State FFA Degree. The final degree awarded is the American Degree and is by far the most prestigious. Students must earn $10,000, completed 50 hours of community service and been an active member in their FFA chapter. Only 3% of FFA members in the nation ever earn this degree.
