Directors have created a scholarship fund to assist members in advancing their educational dreams.  <\/p>\n<p>Through a concentrated effort to raise sponsorship funds, individual giving, and a dedication to returning revenue, they have created a legacy of giving back to North Carolina DECA members.  <\/p>\n<p>What began as one 5K dollar scholarship, has grown to a program awarding over <b>90 THOUSAND<\/b>  dollars in scholarships to deserving NC DECA members!  These funds are designed to change lives and assist members in long term college dreams.  We award one $50,000 Scholarship, as well as multiple other awards ranging from $2500 to $20,000!  North Carolina DECA is leaving a mark on future generations.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><div class=\"fusion-fullwidth fullwidth-box fusion-builder-row-5 fusion-flex-container
