Agriscience Student<br />
Recognition Program<br />
14<br />
Grant Lewis was thrilled when he was named the 2003<br />
Agriscience Student of the Year.<br />
Sponsored by Monsanto as a special project of the <strong>National</strong> <strong>FFA</strong><br />
Foundation.<br />
Grant A. Lewis’ interest in alternative fossil fuels paid off at<br />
national convention. Lewis, from the Delavan <strong>FFA</strong> Chapter in<br />
Illinois, was named the 2003 Agriscience Student of the Year. This<br />
award goes to students who demonstrate exceptional research skills<br />
through projects involving agriscience and the application of<br />
knowledge gained from agriculture classes.<br />
Lewis focused his project on the effect of ethanol in small engines<br />
and the most efficient way to use the substance. He found that using<br />
ethanol in small engines improves their efficiency. Lewis has<br />
presented his findings to many organizations.<br />
This research is just one example of how <strong>FFA</strong> members practice<br />
real-world career skills through integrated agricultural education.<br />
Students are also evaluated on academic achievement and<br />
involvement in school and community activities.<br />
