What is the highest degree an FFA member can achieve?

• A. American FFA Degree
• B. State FFA Degree
• C. Chapter FFA Degree
• D. Honorary FFA Degree

Answer: (A)

The highest degree is the American FFA Degree, awarded at the national convention to members who have demonstrated outstanding achievement through years of active FFA participation, a substantial supervised agricultural experience, plus leadership and community involvement. This degree is conferred by the National FFA Organization and recognizes contributions on a national scale, far beyond what is earned at chapter or state levels. The Chapter FFA Degree is earned at the local chapter for meeting basic requirements, while the State FFA Degree requires additional criteria at the state level. The Honorary FFA Degree is a special recognition outside the standard active-member progression and doesn’t carry the same level of achievement as the American FFA Degree.
