JEFFERSON COUNTY FFA ALUMNI SCHOLARSHIP
The purpose of this scholarship is to reward hardworking students who plan
on studying an agriculture-related field of study at the community college or
university level. The scholarship also rewards students who have had a
commitment to helping the community and bettering their local FFA chapter.

to fill a variety of agricultural careers. The emphasis will be given to three or

scholarship for a smaller amount of money.

School and planning to major in agriculture at the community college or university level, or
