The Nebraska FFA Foundation is accepting applications for the 2026 SAE Grant – New SAE Project to help eligible Nebraska FFA members start an entrepreneurship Supervised Agricultural Experience.
Eligible applicants: Nebraska FFA members in grades 7-11 for the 2026-27 school year who are starting an entrepreneurship SAE. Students who previously received this grant are not eligible to receive it again.
Funding: Up to $2,000 per eligible student. The current official program page does not publish a total funding pool.
Deadline: September 21, 2026. The Nebraska FFA Foundation’s August 3, 2026 update states that the deadline was extended to September 21, 2026. The extension notice does not publish a closing time or time zone, so Atlas does not infer either.
Application requirements: Applicants should maintain a complete and updated AET profile and resume. Startup applicants must create their concept entrepreneurship SAE in Experience Manager, complete the applicable sections of the SAE plan, prepare a budget, and include at least one journal entry related to the planned SAE.
Submission: The student creates and develops the application in AET. Only the agriculture teacher can submit the completed application to the Nebraska FFA Foundation through the AET submission list.
Post-award administration: The Foundation states that required award documentation, including the stated W-2 form, must be completed by December 1, 2026, and the recipient must attend one Zoom entrepreneurship meeting before funding is processed.
Atlas Opportunity Score: 58/100. This is a verified Nebraska agricultural-education student grant with a clear award ceiling and current deadline, but it has no legitimate N9+ or QC Healthcare role.
N9+ Fit: 0/100. The published scope does not establish a role for the Nonagon N9+ device and platform or QC Healthcare.
Direct-vendor review: Dr. Miltie, LLC is not an eligible student applicant and no direct-vendor pathway is established by the program.
