By: Charles Parker, California Department of Education, State FFA Advisor
Welcome to 2021! With the earlier State FFA Leadership Conference, there was a need to adjust many “normal” due dates. We realize that in the coming months students will be seeking opportunities to apply for various awards, submit scholarship applications, and seek experiences to continue to grow as a leader. To assist you in planning we are providing a summary of upcoming due dates. These applications and forms will be available on calaged.org. Should you not find what you are looking for do not hesitate to reach out.
Looking forward to seeing students and teachers at upcoming events and observing those deserving students as they receive the recognition they deserve.
