The National Leadership Conference (NLC) Scholarship is a program designed to help fund conference and travel-related costs for FBLA members to attend the NLC.
The NLC Scholarship includes a $500 check, plus a complimentary registration to the NLC ($195). Scholarship money must be used for conference and travel-related expenses. Up to 50 scholarships will be awarded each year.
