A Lampasas High School senior is one of two Texans selected to receive a $1,000 National FFA SAE Grant.
FFA gives grants to help members conduct Supervised Agricultural Experience projects, which all FFA members must complete.
Nearly 6,000 members applied for a grant this year, and Emma Jones of Lampasas was accepted to receive a grant through Farm Credit.
