The 4H/FFA Program welcomes high school juniors and seniors and transfer students involved in 4-H or FFA for a first-hand experience with the Corps of Cadets. Space is limited so register now. While at 4H-FFA students will:
- Meet current cadets and learn about their experiences in the Corps
- Stay in the Corps dorms on campus
- Eat meals with cadet outfits and watch formations
- Attend a class with a cadet
- Hear from key staff about the Corps experience
- Learn about the university admissions process, financial aid, scholarships and academic support
- For those interested, have the chance to visit with the Aggie Band director about the nationally famous Fightin' Texas Aggie Band
- Attend a recognition luncheon at the conclusion of the event. Corps of Cadets scholarship certificates will be awarded
Dates and Schedule
4H/FFA is offered during the fall and spring semesters. Our next session will take place 16-17 April 2012.
Scholarships
All qualified students attending the 4H/FFA Program will be considered for a variety of Corps Scholarships, which carry no military obligation and may be used in conjunction with other scholarships. If a Corps Scholarship is awarded to a student who is not a resident of Texas, the recipient may qualify for in-state tuition.
Registration
Check-in for the 4H/FFA Program is at the Sanders Corps of Cadets Center from 4-5 p.m. The program concludes the following day after the recognition luncheon, approximately 2:30 p.m. The program costs $15 per student for the Thursday dinner and Friday breakfast meal. The Friday recognition luncheon at the end of the program is free for the student and up to two family members (note that students who are driving a vehicle will also need to bring enough money to pay for overnight parking at the University Center Garage (UCG)).
