Howdy AMP families and students, The following are important events and happenings for the week of January 11th. Upcoming Events
2021 North East Ag Fair Premium Auction - January 15-18, 2021 The 2021 North East Ag Fair Premium Auction is a virtual event hosted online by StockShowAuctions.com on Friday, January 15 – Monday, January 18, 2021. This is our inaugural year to host an online auction to directly benefit the students that participated in the 2021 North East Ag Fair held January 8-9, 2021. The auction format that is being utilized is a Premium Auction which acts as a fundraiser for the student exhibitors. Bidders will not be purchasing the rights of lease or ownership to the project being offered in the Premium Auction, however, the bidder will simply be making a financial donation to student exhibitors by placing an "Add On" bid to the project being offered. We hope you will spread the word and consider supporting the 2021 North East Ag Fair Premium Auction to reward our students for their time, effort, and finances that they have invested into these agricultural projects.

Scholarship Opportunities National FFA Scholarship Program Deadline: January 14, 2021 The National FFA Scholarship Program application opens Nov. 1. Whether students are planning on attending a specialized training program or seeking a four-year degree, the National FFA Scholarship Program has opportunities for all. Scholarships support FFA high school seniors and collegiate members as well as non-FFA students. Just one application is required for multiple scholarship opportunities totaling close to $2 million dollars. Everything students need to successfully complete the application can be found on the scholarship website. This year, we are also including how-to videos to assist students in completing the application and advisors on validating the student’s application. It is imperative that students “white list” emails that will come from our scholarship partner ISTS. Here is a document to walk you through how to ensure you receive the communication around the scholarship program. The scholarship application closes on Jan. 14, 2021. Access the scholarship application and resources at FFA.org/Scholarships.

Aspiring high school seniors are encouraged to apply before the January 31, 2021 deadline.
