Texas FFA awarded more than 140 scholarships to outstanding graduating seniors at the 95th Annual Texas FFA Convention.
"Receiving a Texas FFA scholarship will have a life-changing impact on me because it will allow me to commit more time to my education and less to worry about meeting financial obligations during school," said Hannah Abraham, Anderson-Shiro FFA member.
Whether you are pursuing a future in production agriculture, business, or another career, our members can earn scholarships to aid with their next steps in education.
"Since I was able to receive the Houston Livestock Show and Rodeo scholarship, I will be able to continue my education and work to achieve my dreams of continuing to advocate for the agricultural industry," said Haleigh Triolo, Katy FFA member.
The more than $2.3 million in scholarships awarded to members were only possible because of our generous scholarship donors.
"I'm a very thankful recipient of the Richard Wallrath Educational Foundation Scholarship," said Jacie Pennington, Bryson FFA member. "I sincerely want to thank all of the donors who believe in Texas FFA members, just like myself, and the future of agriculture."
All scholarships were awarded based on academic and FFA achievements and the member's performance in an interview process.
"My scholarship will help me reach the goal of receiving my Master's in Business Administration, which I will use to find a career that will allow me to give back to this organization, which has taught me so many valuable lessons," said Stewart Poffenberger, Bellville FFA member.
