State FFA Officer Scholarships

Many CALS students ignited their passion for agriculture and natural resources through their experience in FFA. Each year, up to eight high school graduates are elected to serve the Florida FFA Association and its members, and we invest in these future leaders through scholarships to CALS after they complete their year of FFA service
