Which degree recognizes individuals for rendering outstanding service to agricultural education and FFA?

The Honorary Degree is specifically designed to acknowledge individuals who have made significant contributions to agricultural education and the FFA organization. This degree is not awarded based on the standard criteria of membership or achievement that apply to students; rather, it is given to those who have provided exceptional service, support, and dedication to the advancement of agricultural education and the goals of the FFA. Recipients often include teachers, parents, community leaders, and other supporters who have a positive impact on the FFA and its members, demonstrating the importance of community involvement in nurturing the next generation of agricultural leaders.

The other degrees, such as the American Degree, State Degree, and Discovery Degree, focus on achievements and contributions made by FFA members themselves, based on their participation and success within the organization.
