The Lone Star FFA Degree is the highest degree awarded by the Texas FFA Association.  In 2008, over 1,302 Texas FFA members received this honor as a result of their work with their SAE and FFA activities. 

Article VI, Section E of the Texas FFA constitution outlines minimum requirements for this degree.  The Texas FFA has adopted a policy that more clearly outlines these requirements.

Lone Star Degree recipients are recognized on the Tuesday afternoon of Texas FFA Convention during the Lone Star Degree Ceremony.  This year the ceremony will be held on July 13, 2010 at the American Bank Center in Corpus Christi.  Degree recipients receive their degree and the golden charm of the Lone Star Degree at this ceremony.

All Lone Star Degree applications must be submitted to the State Degree Check headquarters no later than noon on Thursday, June 10, 2010.  Please check with your local advisor and/or area coordinator regarding dates for area degree review and check.

Lone Star FFA degree applicants must use the American Degree application template.
