2. A 2-page statement written by the student explaining his/her current involvement in DECA and how they see the organization helping them in the future.

If you have any questions or concerns please contact Mitchell Beresa at [email protected]

Please be assured that all information provided will be kept in the strictest confidence by the Board of Trustees.

Do not wait until after your Regional program to apply. If you believe you have a student that qualifies and might be attending SCC it is better to submit the application on time rather than have the student miss out on the award!
