During the 2012 - 2013 school year, Ford Trucks will continue to offer its Built Ford Tough - FFA Scholarship Program. Each scholarship is worth $1,000 toward collegiate education.
The scholarships are co-funded by local Ford dealers, who designate support for a chapter in their marketing area. Students complete the scholarship application on ffa.org, and bring it to the dealer for their signature to be eligible for the $1,000 scholarship.
The program has been operating since 1997, and in 2012 Ford reached $7,117,000 in awarded scholarships.
In addition to the Scholarship Program, Ford Trucks will provide $3,000 grants to a FFA Chapter in each of the six NAAE Regions.
To qualify for the grant, the chapter must have a local Ford dealer participating in
the Scholarship Program, and a minimum of three (3) applicants for the Built Ford Tough – FFA Scholarship.
Final selection of the grants will be made by National FFA Foundation and NAAE.
