Experience the Difference

DECA is more than competitions, blazers, and medallions. Joining DECA is the first step you can take towards achieving your goals and realizing your greatest potential. Your membership in DECA provides you the opportunity to participate in DECA’s high school programs at the local, chartered association and international levels.

STUDENT SCHOLARSHIPS

DECA’s scholarship program provides over $200,000 in scholarships to high school and college DECA members at the International Career Development Conference (ICDC) each year. DECA Inc. administers the program based on guidelines set by the donor. DECA scholarships are strictly merit-based.
 
DECA members will apply for scholarships through the Student Member Portal. Once in the portal, click "Apply for Scholarships," complete your profile, and click “Submit” at the bottom. After submitting your profile, the scholarship applications will populate with any scholarships for which you meet the criteria. Scholarship applications may be saved and finished later, provided that your student profile is submitted. The scholarship program will time out after 20 minutes of non-usage.
 
Applications for 2023-2024 scholarships are due by January 12, 2024.
