BPA Merit Scholar Award

Purpose

To recognize individual members and advisors for their knowledge of Business Professionals of America and to motivate all members and advisors to learn as much as possible about the history, traditions, programs, and activities of the organization.

Eligibility

Any paid member including advisors attending the National Leadership Conference may earn the BPA Merit Scholar award by achieving a minimum of 85% on an objective test (true/false and multiple choice questions). This general contest is not part of the competitive events program; the BPA Merit Scholar award is part of the BPA Cares offered to members.

The test will be developed annually by the National Center. Resources used will be the Chapter Management Reference, the BPA Cares Handbook, the Torch Awards Handbook, current school year’s issues of the Wire, and the BPA Web site (www.bpa.org).

Recognition

Those participants achieving 85% or more on the test will receive a BPA Merit Scholar pin during the Awards Session at the National Leadership Conference.
