MADISON — The Wisconsin FFA Foundation has opened the application process for its 2019 Supervised Agricultural Experience Grants. The Foundation’s SAE Grants are available to Wisconsin Association of FFA members in six categories: aquaculture, dairy, grain production, livestock, organic agriculture and start-up. 

The SAE Grant Program is open to current FFA members in grades 7 through 11 during the current, 2019-20 school year. The application for the SAE Grants can be found at wisconsinaged.org/ffa/scholarships-and-grants/ and must be postmarked by Nov. 15 and mailed to the Wisconsin FFA Foundation office. 

As one aspect of the three-part agricultural education model, a student’s SAE provides avenues for them to consider multiple career options while developing industry-specific skills and applying their classroom-learned knowledge to a workplace setting. The recipients of the SAE grants are able to begin or expand their individual projects and experiences, truly giving them opportunities that otherwise may not be possible. 

Questions about the SAE grant applications can be directed to the Wisconsin FFA Foundation at info@wisconsinffafoundation.org or 608-831-5058 x1.
