Description
The National Society of High School Scholars (NSHSS), in partnership with DECA, offers this leadership grant to recognize the outstanding contributions of DECA advisors. The award honors educators who consistently demonstrate a commitment to preparing students for success in college and in life, highlighting the role advisors play in supporting high-achieving students through DECA participation.
The program focuses on recognition of educator leadership rather than funding a specified research study or classroom project. Two NSHSS Educators who serve as DECA advisors will receive awards at the DECA International Career Conference, taking place April 17–20, 2027, in Anaheim, California.
