The San Antonio Livestock Exposition established the Rural Youth Award 53 years ago to honor youth leaders across the State of Texas. Today, this award provides recognition for FFA and 4-H members who have shown outstanding leadership in their organazation and community. Each organzation conducts its own nomination and selection process and submits 20 honorees to represent their selective organzation. Texas youth involved in FFA and 4-H may apply for this award through only one organzation.
This award is now open to FFA members from across the state of Texas.
This award and scholarship will recognize senior FFA members from across the State of Texas who have demonstrated exceptional leadership skills, extensive FFA involvement and community service and excellence in planning and executing their supervised agricultural experience program. Recipients will be presented with a $1,000 scholarship and will be recognized at the Rural Youth Banquet held on Friday, January 30th. (Tentative) The honoree and one parent will be guests of SALE for the banquet. All other guests attending with the honoree will be required to pay for their banquet ticket.
