As you look to begin the Texas FFA Scholarship process, here are a few items to keep in mind::
-
A full list of requirements can be found here. Please share this with the teachers in your area.
-
Transcripts should be 3.5-year transcripts and must be official-meaning they must include the signature of the school counselor or registrar.
-
Any course taken Pass/Fail should NOT be included on the GPA page of the application (this will not negatively impact your student).
-
The ACT/SAT requirement is still in place this year. Students must have taken and scored a minimum of a 19 on the ACT OR 1000 on the SAT to be eligible to apply for the scholarship. ACT/SAT.
-
ACT/SAT score reports must include the student's full name. The screenshot from the email is not official.
-
SuperScores will not be accepted.
-
Please remind your areas that any weighted grades on the transcript will require a counselor's letter.
-
As a reminder, the scholarship questions were updated last year. The list can be found here. Please share this with members in your area so there are no surprises.
-
We are aware that we are waiting on the new SAI report to be released by FAFSA. The last update from FAFSA says it should come out in early March. We will keep you updated as we hear new information.
-
FAFSA SAI UPDATE- Based on the comparison charts of EFC to SAI, the scholarship application will have a verbiage change only. The words "Estimated Family Contribution/ EFC" will be replaced with "Student Aide Index/ SAI".
-
All EFC/SAI values on the application and scoring rubric will remain the same.
Thank you for all that you do! Please email or call with any questions.
