Nebraska Proficiency Application and Rubric

At the state level, Nebraska FFA will only accept applications with records in 2 calendar years (adopted July 2023). The application used is the National FFA Application and uses the National FFA Rubric.

The National FFA rubrics are used. The rubric is to be printed one per evaluator to use as a reference. Student scoresheets summarize the rubric information to reduce the number of sheets printed. Print one student scoresheet per application to score and feedback.
