Score sheets for Proficiency Awards and American FFA Degree are available on the National FFA web site and in the American FFA Degree Handbook and Proficiency Award Handbook.
Award Area - Make sure your student's SAE project fits the category they have applied in and that they only include information and records that are directly related to that award area. Make sure the area applied for is proven by the student in the application.
Example Applications are Available - Here are numerous example applications of past national winner applications available on the National FFA's Agricultural Proficiency Award page.
Rubrics/Scorecards - The rubrics and scorecards are available in the Proficiency Handbook and on the web site on the National FFA's Agricultural Proficiency Award page. There are two different rubrics, one for the Entrepreneurship and one for the Placement application. Judges use rubrics and scorecards to judge applications. Have student/advisor score the application using the rubric. This would point out strengths and weaknesses. Follow rules printed on the rubrics
Goals - Make sure goals are defined and measurable and then addressed in results. Be reasonable and realistic in defining goals and outcomes of these goals. Be specific with goals (both proficiency and national chapter)
Applications - Read the directions. Follow the rules!
