The affiliation fee program allows students who are currently enrolled in secondary agricultural education programs or graduates, to be eligible for all the benefits and opportunities offered through FFA. Enrolled students (or graduates) in local agricultural education programs will be considered official FFA members using a scaled affiliation fee, versus a dues model, which only provides benefits to students who pay individual membership dues.

First year affiliated chapters roster of all students is due on September 30. The affiliation dues payment is NOT due on November 15 like the regular dues payments; it will be due in the spring (May 1, 2025).
After the first year of affiliation, starting in the 2025-2026 school year and subsequent years, your affiliation dues payment will be due in November like a normal year. That payment is based on the previous year’s roster number (April 1 of the previous school year).
