Georgia FBLA members can qualify for multiple scholarships through outstanding achievement and participation in our organization.  The national association offers the Distinguished Business Leader Scholarships, of which Georgia FBLA members have won 15 of these scholarships the past 7 years.  Georgia FBLA offers members over $8,000 in scholarships each year, with hopes to offer additional scholarships in the future.  Winners in several competitive events can also qualify for scholarships

Chapters that succeed in membership recruitment and membership growth will be recognized at all conferences.  Chapter membership awards include

• Market Share Award – Recognizes chapters at schools where a high percentage of a student body joins FBLA.
• Membership Achievement Award – Recognizes chapters that maintain or increase membership
• 100% Class Participation Award – Recognizes advisers who recruit all students in a single class to become FBLA members. 
• 100% Membership Excellence Awards – Recognizes advisers who recruit all students in all of their classes during the entire year to join FBLA. 
• Local Recruitment of Chapters – Recognizes chapters that charter or reactivate FBLA and ML chapters.

Chapters are encouraged to nominate one outstanding adviser for Adviser of the Year.  One adviser from each region and an overall state winner will be recognized.  Advisers with less than 5 years of experience may apply for the New Adviser of the Year award.

The Chapter of the Year program recognizes the top chapters in the state.  Chapters earn points for participating in the many activities offered by Georgia FBLA in the areas of chapter management, conference attendance and recognition, recruitment, public relations, and participation in national and state projects.  Chapters earn points to earn the designations of Gold, Silver, or Bronze chapters.  The chapter that earns the most points throughout the year will be named the Chapter of the Year.  Chapters entering this program can qualify for the prestigious Hollis and Kitty Guy Gold Seal Chapter Award of Merit which recognizes the top 15% of the chapters in the nation.

Members can qualify for additional recognition by spreading the word about FBLA and recruiting new members to our association.  Members receive the Membership Madness Award simply for recruiting just 5 new members.  Members can also receive the Membership Mania Award for recruiting 10 new members.  Members receiving these awards will be entered in a drawing for exciting prizes at the State Leadership Conference.

Members receive special recognition and in some cases, cash rewards for participating in our various state projects.  Georgia FBLA recognizes its members’ participation with the ever-popular conference ribbons.  Participate in many projects and see how many ribbons you can collect.
