A $1,000 SAE grant has been awarded to Avery Wisdom of Gore by Boot Barn. Wisdom is a member of the Gore FFA Chapter and her application was selected from among 1,258 applications nationwide.
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 Agricultural-related business or conduct an Agricultural research experience.
Upon completion, FFA members must submit a comprehensive report regarding their career development experience.
This year, 29 different sponsors funded SAE grants. A full list of sponsors can be found on the National FFA Organization website on the SAE Grants webpage.
