Stephenville FFA student Shayla Mader was one of ten students selected for the 2023 Ford Leadership Scholars.
The Ford Leadership Scholars program is a result of the Texas FFA Foundation and Texas Ford Dealers partnership to enhance the leadership opportunities of Texas FFA members.
The purpose of the program is to: 1) Identify students who exhibit high levels of leadership at the chapter level. 2) Engage these identified students in a leadership development program created to enhance those qualities of leadership. 3) Recognize the Scholars to build a remarkable legacy for the future of our state and nation.
The objective of the training week is to equip students to go back to their communities to develop substantial and sustainable community service capstone projects.
