Eligibility
Membership
Each participant must be a current, bona fide, dues paying FFA member in good standing with
the local chapter, state FFA association and National FFA Organization at the time of his/her
selection and at the time of the event in which he/she participates.
In the event a participant’s name is not on the chapter’s official roster for the years in which the
dues were payable to the National FFA Organization, a past due membership processing fee of
$25, in addition to the dues, must be paid prior to certification. The participant, at the time of
his/her selection as a national participant, must be:
•
An FFA member. (A graduating senior is considered eligible to compete in state and
national events up to and including his/her first national convention following grad-
uation.)
•
While in school, be enrolled in at least one agricultural education course during the
school year and/or follow a planned course of study; either course must include a
supervised agricultural experience program.
•
Once a student places in the top three of a division and category, he/she can no long-
er compete in that division and category regardless of the research subject.
Students who wish to continue research on the same topic or who have won a
division and category are encouraged to seek additional recognition using the
proficiency award or star award, or they compete in another agriscience
research area within the agriscience fair.
No student may participate in more than one category and division of the
agriscience fair each year.
Divisions
The National FFA Constitution provides flexibility to meet the needs of students enrolled in
non-traditional programs. For the purposes of participating in national FFA events, a student
needs to be enrolled in at least one course during the year they qualify to participate.
Competition is open to all FFA members in grades 7-12. There are four divisions:
•
Division I - individual member in grades 7, 8 and 9.
•
Division II - individual member in grades 10, 11 and 12.
•
Division III - team of two members in grades 7, 8 and 9.
•
Division IV - team of two members in grades 10, 11 and 12.
Grade is determined by the grade level of the member at the time of qualification at the state
level. State associations with qualifying competitions may have up to 24 entries, one in each
category, in each division. For example: An association may have an entry in Plant Systems in
Division I, II, III and IV. State associations may not have more than one entry in a category/
division.
Each member and/or team may enter only one project. Exhibited projects and project reports
will be the result of the students’ own efforts. A team is a maximum of two members working
cooperatively on the same project. Teams can be made up of two students in different grades
but will compete in the division in which the older participant would qualify. Team members
must be from the same chapter at the time of qualification.
