A $1,000 National SAE grant has been awarded to Lillian Brock, Justus Laughlin, Garrison Stewart and Angelina Zuno—members of the Waynesville FFA Chapter—by Growing America’s Farmers, Farm Credit and Cencora Impact Foundation.
SAE grants are designed to help FFA members create or expand Supervised Agricultural Experience (SAE) projects, a requirement that all FFA members must complete. An SAE requires FFA members to create and operate an agriculture-related business, work at an agriculture-related business or conduct an agricultural research experience. Upon completion,
FFA members must submit a comprehensive report regarding their career development experience.
This year 23 different sponsors funded SAE Grants. A full list of sponsors can be found on the National FFA Organization website on the SAE Grants webpage.
Brock, Laughlin, Steward and Zuno are members of the Waynesville FFA Chapter at the Waynesville Career Center. Their application was selected from among 1,468 applications nationwide.
The National FFA Organization is a school-based national youth leadership development organization of more than 1,042,245 student members as part of 9,407 local FFA chapters in all 50 states, Puerto Rico and the U.S. Virgin Islands.
