2026 Idaho FFA Foundation Scholarship Raffle

The 16^th Annual Idaho FFA Foundation Scholarship Raffle drawing was held just outside of Star, ID for 2026.

Scholarship raffle chairman Sid Freeman and Amaya Landa of the Idaho Grain Producers drew the names of the winners, including for the grand prize of a brand-new Polaris RZR.

Nearly 6,000 Idahoans bought tickets, and since the beginning of the program, they’ve awarded over $300,000 for local FFA chapters and scholarships for FFA members.

Verbatim:

(Sid Freeman) Welcome everybody to the 16th annual Idaho FFA Foundation Scholarship Raffle.

We're going to do the drawing here in just a little bit. My name is Sid Freeman. I am a board member for the Idaho FFA Foundation and I am the scholarship raffle chairman. We are here today with Amaya Landa and she's going to do the drawing for us today.

(Amaya Landa) Thanks, Sid. And thanks to the nearly 6,000 Idahoans who purchased tickets and supported the Idaho FFA Foundation. Now for the part you've all been waiting for, let's draw our winners.

(Carly Jordan) I'm Carly Jordan, the executive director of the Idaho FFA Foundation, and I'm just so pleased with how our raffle this year went. This is our 16th annual raffle and one of the most impactful programs within the Idaho FFA Foundation. We've awarded over $300,000 since the beginning of this program, and we really look forward to another year kicking off soon for the upcoming school year.

There we go! Right on!

(Amaya Landa) Thank you to everybody who purchased tickets and thank you to our supporters that make this event possible.

(Carly Jordan) The Idaho FFA Foundation Scholarship Raffle benefits local chapters as well as graduating seniors going on to college. Half of every ticket goes back to the local chapter that sold it, and half of the ticket goes into our scholarship pool.

The inception of this program began in the fall of 2010 and the first drawing was held in the spring of 2011.

We're very thankful to have a lot of very generous sponsors for this program to help us put it on every year.

We were excited to offer several prizes this year. We had a $300 gift card from Valley Wide Cooperative, a $500 gift card from D&B Supply, a chainsaw donated by Campbell Tractor, and a brand new Polaris RZR.

FFA members grow into innovators, collaborators, and leaders for the Idaho agriculture industry and beyond.

We're proud to have FFA members representing the FFA organization in businesses and industries that provide a lot to Idaho's economical benefit, and we're proud to have FFA members in leadership positions within our legislature and within their local communities as well.

(Sid Freeman) We would like to thank all of our supporters and our sponsors on the back of our trailer here for the help that they’ve given us through the year.
