During the National FFA Convention, delegates considered ways to improve the organization. South Dakota FFA State President Tessa Erdmann from Groton, South Dakota served on the ag education and retention committee. “We’re excited to promote the scholarships we have available at the National FFA. The scholarships are meant to encourage colleges to start an agricultural education program and more.” South Dakota FFA State Sentinel Trinity Peterson was also a delegate. “I served on the membership experience committee. One recommendation was to put a personal circumstances box on scholarships, for students with extenuating circumstances. Especially due to the COVID pandemic, there’s not really a spot to account for those missed activities,” says Peterson. “We also explored the option to put a link for IEP and 504 plans on scholarships.”
