Alumni - Memorial Scholarship

Prior to January 1997, the life membership policy included a memorial scholarship of $100.00 before November 1993 and $150.00 from November 1993 to December 1996.

This scholarship was to be designated by the life member to be distributed in one of three ways upon his/her death:

  1. Remain permanently in the National FFA Alumni Trust Fund
  2. Be given as a Memorial Scholarship to an FFA member in a designated FFA chapter
  3. Be given in memory as a contribution to be used to support some area of agriculture and/or agricultural education

Upon a life member’s death, notification must be submitted in writing to the National FFA Alumni & Supporters Association along with a copy of the obituary or death certificate. If the life member has a designation form on file, his/her wishes must be honored. If there is no form on file, a letter will be sent to the person/organization providing notification of death requesting a family member to make the designation.

Send questions regarding memorial scholarships to alumni@ffa.org.
