Degree Recipients
The Nevada State FFA Degree is a great honor and the highest degree in our state association. To qualify for the state FFA degree students had to meet several requirements throughout their time in FFA, and agricultural education. Students who receive this degree demonstrate that they have gained valuable lessons from all three areas of agricultural education – classroom, work-based learning projects (Supervised Agricultural Experiences), and leadership development in the FFA. Each year applications are reviewed in February and recipients are announced in March.
Congratulations to students for receiving their Nevada State FFA Degree as well as our Nevada FFA Honorary State Degree and American Degree recipients.
