DECA is proud to celebrate a decade of partnership with the National Society of High School Scholars (NSHSS). For the past 10 years, NSHSS has been a champion in recognizing achievement, expanding opportunities and empowering DECA members to reach their full potential.
Through this partnership, NSHSS has supported DECA members as they explore educational opportunities, develop their leadership skills and prepare for future success.
One meaningful example of this commitment is the NSHSS + DECA Scholarship, which recognizes three DECA members and two advisors each year – resulting in an investment of $50,000 in support since the partnership began. The student-focused scholarship r supports members’ next steps toward becoming future leaders and professionals in marketing, finance, hospitality or business.
“For ten years, NSHSS has helped us celebrate DECA members who go above and beyond, reinforcing that academic excellence and leadership go hand in hand. This partnership reflects a shared commitment to recognizing and elevating member and advisor achievement," said Sarah Cozewith, Chief Partnership Officer at DECA Inc.
DECA extends its sincere appreciation to the National Society of High School Scholars for a decade of partnership and investment in our members. We look forward to continuing our work together and helping even more students transform their potential into lasting impact.
