Texas FFA Scholarships
Scholarship Sponsored by Texas Future Farmers of America
Overview
Each year at the Texas FFA Convention, a competitive review selects recipients for academic scholarships. Thanks to many generous donors, the Texas FFA awards more than 140 scholarships annually to deserving graduating seniors. Awards are granted based on academic record, FFA involvement and accomplishments, and performance during the interview stage.
Endowment and Funding
The Texas FFA Foundation maintains a scholarship endowment to support these awards indefinitely. Combined academic and award scholarships total approximately $2.4 million each year.
