After seven years of funding Future Farmers of America students, Domino’s Pizza Inc. is expanding its scholarship program for the 2024-25 cycle, according to a news release.
Domino’s is funding 10 scholarships worth $10,000 each for FFA members working toward a college degree in agricultural education, with the intent to pursue a career as an agriculture science teacher.
The need for more agriculture teachers to support FFA students and future leaders in agriculture led to the creation of the new scholarship program, officials said. “National FFA values Domino’s support through their sponsorship and partnership,” Molly Ball, president of the National FFA Foundation, said in the release. “These scholarships help cultivate the talent pipeline for agricultural education and continue to develop future teachers and advisors that positively impact the industry and the world.”
FFA high school seniors or FFA alumni in college can apply for the scholarship by completing the application through FFA’s website, ffa.org/participate/ grants- and- scholarships/ scholarships, by midnight on Jan. 9. Applicants will have access to multiple scholarship opportunities totaling nearly $2.5 million through one application. Winners will be notified in late April, and funds will be distributed in July for the fall 2025 semester.
Domino’s has donated $2 million to FFA since joining as a national sponsor in 2017. In 2025, Domino’s will donate $500,000 to fund the new scholarship program, work-based learning grants, sustainability curriculum and workforce development programs aligned with FFA’s Food Processing and Products career pathway.
“When Domino’s first committed to support FFA, we acknowledged that without farmers, there would be no pizza,” Carrie Ballew, Domino’s vice president — chief procurement officer and FFA sponsors’ board member, said in the release. “To adequately support future farmers, we need to empower future and current agriculture science teachers. They’re critical to FFA, and the ag industry. We are grateful for the opportunity to do our part by offering this scholarship to those aspiring toward a future in the agriculture education field.”
