NEW YORK DECA SCC SCHOLARSHIP

New York State DECA offers scholarships for high school DECA members who will be attending the New York DECA State Career Conference. The scholarship will cover the student’s hotel and registration costs at the quad rate.

To apply for the scholarship, the student must complete the application and submit all supporting documentation by the deadline.

The home district advisor(s) for the student(s) chosen for the scholarship will be informed on or about January 17, 2026.

The New York State DECA Board of Trustees attending the January Board Meeting will make scholarship decisions. Decisions will be based upon both financial need as well as the completed application.

Requirements

E-mail the following documents (to [email protected]) by the deadline in order to be considered for the scholarship:

1. The scholarship application.
2. A statement (no more than two pages doubled spaced) explaining your current involvement in DECA and how you see the organization helping you in your future.
3. A statement regarding your financial need on school letterhead from a guidance counselor/school administrator (not your DECA advisor).

APPLICATION DUE JANUARY 5, 2026

Late applications will not be accepted. 

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 conference 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!
