Proficiency Awards
Proficiency Awards recognize the development of technical knowledge and skills that students develop through their Supervised Agricultural Experience programs. Based on calendar years of SAE documentation, students may begin applying for this award program with records in 2 calendar years through the first year after high school graduation.
Proficiency Information and Guidelines
- Ensure that the application is in the right area. Carefully read the National Proficiency areas and the Nebraska only areas.
- Applications CANNOT move areas at the state level review in February. If the application is in an incorrect area, it will not advance to be a State Finalist, nor will it have the chance to move to the correct area. Applications will be evaluated in the area in which they were submitted, which may mean disqualification or “no score”.
- All Proficiency Applications must be completed online using the AET.
- Nebraska Only Areas are eligible for local, district and state recognition – they are not eligible to compete for national awards.
