Jarrett-Scott Ford’s Jim Scott announced this week the Plant City dealership would join Ford Motor Company in its ongoing commitment to the National FFA.
Ford has committed to a 16th year of the Built Ford Tough — FFA collegiate scholarship program, which will award $1,000 scholarships to hundreds of FFA members, each co-sponsored by dealers.
“We’re pleased to be able to support the local chapter and Ford Motor Company in its strong commitment to the National FFA,” Scott said. “All our previous scholarship recipients tell us how grateful they are for the financial support and how the FFA experience has changed their lives.”
Jarrett-Scott Ford is sponsoring the Built Ford Tough collegiate scholarship program for Plant City, Durant and Strawberry Crest high schools. For the 2012-2013 school year, the dealership will help three Plant City students attend the college of his or her choice.
To be eligible, FFA members must submit an online 2013 Scholarship Application, available at ffa.org, and take the required Signature Page to Jarrett-Scott Ford for the dealer endorsement and official dealer code.
Ford has supported the National FFA since the first F-Series truck was introduced in 1948 and has sponsored the Built Ford Tough collegiate scholarship program since 1997. The program, equally funded by Ford Motor Company and Ford dealers, has awarded more than $7 million in scholarships to FFA members.
