A $1,000 Ag Education SAE grant has been awarded to Allie Paschall of Tennessee by Farm Credit.
SAE grants are designed to help FFA members create or expand Supervised Agricultural Experience (SAE) projects, a requirement that all FFA members must complete. An SAE requires FFA members to create and operate an agriculture-related business, work at an agriculture-related business or conduct an agricultural research experience. Upon completion, FFA members must submit a comprehensive report regarding their career development experience.
This year 26 different sponsors funded SAE Grants. A full list of sponsors can be found on the National FFA Organization website on the SAE Grants webpage.
Paschall is a member and President of the Hollow Rock-Bruceton FFA Chapter. Her application was selected from among 1,238 applications nationwide. She was one of five candidates from the state of Tennessee to receive an SAE grant.
The National FFA Organization is a school-based national youth leadership development organization of more than 1,027,200 student members as part of 9,235 local FFA chapters in all 50 states, Puerto Rico and the U.S. Virgin Islands.
