Domino’s Pizza Inc. has funded scholarships for FFA students for seven years. This year, the company is expanding its scholarship program for the 2024-25 cycle. Domino’s will fund 10 scholarships worth $10,000 each for FFA members pursuing a college degree in agricultural education. The goal is to help these students become agriculture science teachers.
The new scholarship program addresses a critical need identified by FFA leaders and industry professionals. There is a shortage of agriculture teachers to support FFA students and future leaders in agriculture.
“National FFA values Domino’s support through their sponsorship and partnership,” said Molly Ball, president of the National FFA Foundation. “These scholarships help cultivate the talent pipeline for agricultural education and develop future teachers who will positively impact the industry and the world.”
FFA high school seniors or FFA alumni in college can apply for the scholarship through FFA’s website by Jan. 9, 2025. One application will give access to multiple scholarship opportunities, totaling nearly $2.5 million. Winners will be notified in late April, and funds will be distributed in July for the fall 2025 semester.
“When Domino’s first committed to FFA, we acknowledged that without farmers, there would be no pizza,” said Carrie Ballew, Domino’s vice president and chief procurement officer. “To support future farmers, we need to empower agriculture science teachers. They are critical to FFA and the agriculture industry. We’re grateful for the chance to offer this scholarship to those pursuing careers in agricultural education.”
