Throughout the entire program you get to experience and do things that others do not. You get to see the whole country, network with people from completely different lifestyles and interact with some of the most prominent business leaders of today. The classroom also teaches you to handle yourself in a very stable way.

Annually, the Virginia DECA Foundation will fully fund multiple $1,000 scholarships to deserving and qualified students who plan to continue their studies in the field at the college level.
