The cost of higher education can be daunting, even for certification courses like those we offer at ProTrain. To help make education more accessible, ProTrain College proudly offers the Gardner ProTrain BBB Torch Scholarship to students who participate in DECA (Distributive Education Clubs of America), a renowned organization preparing high school and college students for successful careers in business, finance, marketing, management, and hospitality.
This scholarship represents a meaningful way for ProTrain to support students’ career aspirations, recognizing those who demonstrate not only academic excellence but also leadership and community engagement through their involvement with DECA. As DECA has over 250,000 high school student members across thousands of chapters, its mission aligns with our own values: promoting excellence, professional growth, and dedication to one’s field.
What is the Gardner ProTrain BBB Torch Scholarship?
Each year, the Gardner ProTrain BBB Torch Scholarship is awarded to a DECA student who embodies qualities of integrity, leadership, and commitment to community service. This student will have participated actively in their school’s DECA chapter, and ProTrain recognizes the positive impact that DECA involvement has on these students’ growth and future success. The scholarship offers financial support to help students move forward in their educational and career journeys, whether they choose a degree program or targeted career training.
The Flexibility of DECA Scholarships with ProTrain
ProTrain’s scholarship enables DECA students to apply their award toward our range of vocational and career-oriented training programs, from project management and customer service to entrepreneurship and business management. These courses directly align with DECA’s goal of fostering excellence in the workplace, equipping students with the skills to excel in their chosen fields.
Applying for the Scholarship
DECA members can apply for the Gardner ProTrain BBB Torch Scholarship and other DECA scholarships through the DECA student member portal. As with other DECA scholarships, eligibility requires membership, demonstrated leadership, community involvement, and academic achievement. Students are encouraged to update their profiles with recent accomplishments and to consult a trusted family member or friend when reviewing their application.
