Along with the American degree application, what must be postmarked by June 15?

The American degree application must be postmarked by June 15 as it is a crucial component of the process to achieve the American FFA Degree. This degree represents the highest achievement in FFA and requires a completed application demonstrating extensive involvement and accomplishments in agricultural education and FFA activities. The application must be submitted on time to ensure that all candidates are considered for this prestigious award, reflecting their dedication and hard work in their agricultural pursuits.

The other components, such as the application fee, essay, and recommendation letter, while important, do not specifically match the requirement set for the degree application itself. Each of these elements may be part of the overall process but does not hold the same critical timing specified for the application.
