— Dale Daniels has announced that Reynolds Ford - Norman would join Ford Motor Company's first-ever commitment of $1 million in annual support to the National FFA Foundation (formerly known as the Future Farmers of America). In 2007, Ford Motor Company will provide substantial support for the 80th National FFA Convention in Indianapolis and the FFA Washington Leadership Conference in Washington, D.C. In addition, Ford has committed to tenth year of the Built Ford Tough collegiate scholarship program, which will award up to 700 FFA members with a $1,000 college scholarship, each co-sponsored by Ford Dealers like Reynolds Ford - Norman.
Reynolds Ford - Norman is sponsoring Built Ford Tough college scholarship program for Norman High School, Noble High School, Blanchard High School, Tuttle High School and Newcastle High School and has been a proud supporter for five years. For 2006-07 school year, they are helping one local student attend the college of their choice.
FFA members must take their scholarship application to Reynolds Ford - Norman for the dealer signature and the official dealer cold to be included in the scholarship search. The applications are then sent to the National FFA for final judging and selection. As a result, the FFA members get to personally meet - and thank - the dealer that could possibly help fund their college education.
"We're pleased to be able to support the local FFA, as well as Ford Motor Company's support of the National FFA Foundation," says Dale Daniels. "All of the FFA scholars we have sponsored have told us how grateful they are for the support, and how the FFA experience has changed their lives.
Ford's long standing support of the FFA has contributed to the F-Series record 29 years as America's best -selling truck.
