FBLA COLLEGIATE EDUCATION PROGRAMS

Prepare for career readiness with FBLA Collegiate programs such as the Excellence Award.

College students create a portfolio of real-world accomplishments and develop their business and leadership skills across disciplines.

FBLA Collegiate Excellence Award

Enhance leadership skills, expand business knowledge, contribute to local communities, and earn recognition.

The Excellence Award is the individual achievement award program for FBLA Collegiate. It provides members with the opportunity to develop critical skills needed to succeed in the workforce through a variety of programs including but not limited to in-person conferences, on-demand educational programming, and interactive networking opportunities. The award program is credit-based and each program is worth a specific number of credits.

  • Bronze Award – 5 Credits
  • Silver Award – 10 Credits
  • Gold Award – 20 Credits

The Excellence Award replaces the now-retired Career and Membership Achievement Program (CMAP).
