What does it mean to achieve the FFA Degree?

Achieving the FFA Degree signifies a member's dedication and accomplishments in agricultural education. This prestigious recognition is based on a set of criteria that highlights the individual's active participation in FFA activities, their development of agricultural knowledge, and their commitment to leadership and community service. The degree reflects not only involvement within the organization but also a broader understanding of agricultural practices and principles which are foundational pillars of the FFA mission.

While attending national conventions, receiving scholarships, or being recognized at the state level can be beneficial outcomes of FFA involvement, they do not encapsulate the true significance of the FFA Degree, which is fundamentally an affirmation of a member's achievements and contributions thus far in their agricultural education journey.
