DECA's
Scholarships
Numerous scholarships are sponsored through various National Advisory Board
members. The amount ranges from $500 to $1,500. They are renewable. DECA awards
up to 60 scholarships annually in addition to the SEARS, JCPenney, Otis
Spunkmeyer, Best Buy Co., Inc., Publix Super Market, Marriott and Pepsico/Frito-Lay,
Inc. Scholarships.
- The
Harry A. Applegate/DECA scholarship
is for individuals who are currently enrolled in
National DECA and are pursuing a two- or four-year course of study in
marketing, merchandising or management. The applicant must meet the state
deadline first and then the state will submit applications to National DECA
based on their allocations no later than the second Monday of March each year.
There are seven scholarship
programs that are awarded separately from the DECA Scholarship Awards Program.
They are the JCPenney
Scholarship, SEARS Scholarship, Otis Spunkmeyer
Scholarship, Best Buy Scholarship, Publix Super Market
