Alumni Awards & Grants

Overview

The Wisconsin FFA Alumni Association is here to serve our chapters and their membership. It is our job to help you do your job of support your local agriculture education programs, instructors and students. One of the ways that we want to serve you is by providing two different chapter grant programs. The Wisconsin FFA Alumni Association understands that each chapter and each community are different and require different types of support. We know that many chapters in Wisconsin are doing some great things for your communities, agriculture programs and your FFA members. We want to help you celebrate by honoring you with many different types of awards. Please help us celebrate your accomplishments.
