Monetary scholarships and two different types of awards are presented by the Illinois Foundation for Marketing Education. If you are a student DECA member or IFME member/advisor interested in applying for any or all of these three, click on the appropriate name, complete the application and send it to the requested address. Remember that the student's coordinator/advisor must be a member of the IFME. The due dates are given in this web site's calendar.
