GREAT OPPORTUNITIES -- (AKA FREE MONEY!!)

There are many opportunities the ND FFA Foundation has for North Dakota FFA Chapters and FFA members.  Below are just a few of the programs that could help your chapter with your community service projects, gain insight into farm safety, and help your members obtain leadership skills.  

Alliance Pipeline's Safety in Our Agricultural Communities:  Alliance Pipeline is very concerned about safety in North Dakota.  Safety in Our Agricultural Communities is a program to promote safe practices to others in our school and communities.  Twenty-five FFA chapters will have the opportunity to complete two safety activities during the school year and receive $275 to be used in leadership activities.

The ND Ag in the Classroom Mini Grants:  The North Dakota Ag in the Classroom Council is offering grants up to $500 to groups or individuals sponsoring programs or projects that promote agricultural literacy.  A total of $10,000 will be awarded.  Grants may be awarded for less than the full amount requested, based upon the discretion of the granting committee and the funds available.   The proposed project must be targeted to young people from 5-18 years of age and should enhance student knowledge of the contribution made by agriculture.  Proposed projects or events designed to reach large groups of students will be given preference, as will those that involve innovative approaches to promoting agricultural literacy.  

 Alliance Pipeline's FFA is Here to Learn and Serve Program:  Alliance Pipeline is working with the ND FFA Foundation to help chapters commit to their communities.   We encourage members to take this opportunity and apply for funds.

Blue Jackets - Bright Futures (ND FFA Jacket Fund): A group of former FFA members have donated funds to be used for new FFA jackets for FFA members who currently don't own one.  If you know of a fellow FFA member who could use a jacket, please fill out an application.   No more than 10 applications are allowed from a school.

Beginning SAE Grant Program (made possible through Bakk Farm funds):  Grants for 8th and 9th grade FFA members to develop an SAE project.  ($15,000 to be spent)  

Expansion SAE Grant Program (made possible through Bakk Farm funds): Grants for 10th and 11th grade FFA members to expand on an existing SAE project.  ($15,000 to be spent)

College Scholarships for Ag Education Majors:  If you are an ag education major planning on teaching in ND or going to college and planning on a career in production agriculture, please consider filling out our application for a college scholarship.   

  Washington Leadership Conference Scholarships:  Are you interested in taking your leadership skills to the highest level?   Have you ever thought about how you can influence others to lead?   Do you have what it takes to make a positive impact in your local community?    If you have ever asked these questions of yourself, then the Washington Leadership Conference is just for you.  Located in our nation's capitol, the Washington Leadership Conference is a five-day event that trains FFA members to make a positive impact in their school, local community, state and country.   The conference focuses on the following areas: problem solving, relationship building, living with character, developing an attitude of serving others.  The ND FFA Foundation has several scholarships for members.
