Business Honor Society

The National Business Honor Society–Pennsylvania FBLA Chapter is designed to recognize those members of FBLA who truly excel in academic preparation and an eventual career in the business world. Pennsylvania FBLA recognizes that in order to succeed as a true business leader, our members need to be well prepared in terms of their academics, career skills, and leadership development.

FBLA chapters in Pennsylvania are encouraged to nominate members to be recognized in the National Business Honor Society who meet the following criteria:

►High School: Overall cumulative GPA of at least 3.5 on a 4.0 scale.

►Overall cumulative GPA of at least 3.5 of a 4.0 scale in business, computer, and information technology courses with a minimum of two completed courses.

►Demonstrated leadership potential through service as a chapter officer, committee leader, or other participation in chapter activities.

►Clearly defined career objectives.

Applications may be submitted at any time during the year; however, the final deadline for applications will be March 2, 2025.

Honor Cords Available for 2024-25 — Chapter advisers (not students) may request graduation honor cords from the PA FBLA Executive Director for those schools which will permit honor society recipients to wear them at graduation ceremonies.  More information will become available regarding ordering the honor cords in the spring.

Honor Society inductees will be announced at the Pennsylvania FBLA State Leadership Conference on April 07-09, 2025.
