National Chapter Applications Form I and II will be submitted by March 15th through the online Application Manager only.

It is very important that these applications are NOT submitted in-person or to the application email.

This email contains an NCA Planning Guide, a few NCA Reminders, and instructions on how to start and submit an NCA Form I & II.

NCA Planning Guide - Link to NCA Planning Guide

Special thanks to Hannah Elrick for creating this guide to help with all of the details of the National Chapter Application. This guide gives you a visual breakdown of all of the components and helpful tips to help you earn your 3-Star Chapter status.

National Chapter Reminders

• Every chapter is required to submit Form I - please check with the other advisors in your chapter to verify that someone is submitting Form I
• The application covers one full calendar year (i.e., March 15, 2023 - March 14, 2024 or Jan 1, 2023 - Dec 31, 2023)
• Each activity page should only cover one activity (FFA Week consists of multiple activities, so pick one activity to focus on if you choose to highlight FFA Week).
• Activities cannot be used more than once in an application.
• Use the NCA Form II Rubric to increase your chances of being a 3-Star Chapter.
