Scholarships

The Colorado Business and Marketing Educators Association (CBAM) awards four $1,000 post-secondary scholarships each year to deserving high school seniors who have been active participants in DECA. These scholarships recognize student involvement, dedication, and achievement in Business and Marketing Education. In partnership with SupportFund, CBAM also offers an additional $1,000 scholarship to further support students as they continue their education beyond high school.

The Colorado DECA Scholarship is available to currently active Colorado DECA senior high school members who plan to pursue a full-time two- or four-year course of study in marketing, entrepreneurship, finance, hospitality, or management. Applicants may attend any accredited college or university offering programs in these fields. This scholarship is merit-based rather than need-based, though applicants may choose to include a statement regarding financial need for consideration. All application materials must be submitted in full, and incomplete submissions will not be considered. Applications must be complete and legible to be reviewed.

The award is merit-based and recognizes academic achievement, leadership, and involvement, though applicants may include a statement regarding financial need if desired.
