The Dollars for Diamonds scholarship program honors the legacy of Florida DECA's student leaders and commemorates the lives of four members from Marjory Stoneman Douglas High School.

• $500 Scholarships are awarded to graduating student members in honor of past and current FL DECA Executive Directors and leaders.
• $1,000 Ed Fleming Memorial Scholarships are awarded to Executive Officers who have successfully completed their term.
• $500 Vice President Scholarships are awarded to FL DECA Vice Presidents upon successful completion of their term.

Scholarships are funded primarily by each Florida DECA member, as ONE dollar of their state dues are reserved for the scholarship fund. Additional funds are raised by chapters through our Annual Business Plan, direct donations, corporate sponsorships, or individual contributions.

Graduating members must apply using the application and checklist form linked below and submit it via mail no later than February 7th. Applications will be reviewed by the Dollars for Diamonds Selection Committee, and interviews will take place during the Florida DECA Career Development Conference. Awardees will be honored at the Grand Awards session.
