The Cashton FFA Scholarship will range from $500 to any FFA members attending an Agriculture Major or $200 to any FFA members attended post-secondary education in any field. The total amount of scholarships awarded yearly will be up to $2500, with students pursuing agricultural major receiving priority. Student course work can come from any of the following programs: 1). Four Month Short Course at UW-Madison 2). Any 1 or 2 year program at an accredited technical school. 3). Any 2,3, or 4 year program at an accredited college or university. Priority will be given to those students most involved in agriculture as a FFA member and as an agriculture student in high school. It must be understood that the recipient of the scholarship will receive payment after successful completion of the first grading period. This student must maintain a grade point average of 2.0 to be eligible for this scholarship. If at the semester the student’s grades are below this level, they will lose their eligibility for this scholarship. Also, if the student fails to complete their set education after receiving the scholarship, the scholarship is then considered a loan, and the student will be expected to repay the entire sum over a reasonable period to be determined by the FFA Alumni. To receive payment a transcript of the first grading period must be submitted to the Cashton High School Agriculture Instructor.
