Each year, BBB Serving Wisconsin awards 10 scholarships for post-high school education at any Wisconsin-based accredited college beginning in the fall. Two of the scholarships are reserved for students who will be attending two-year colleges to help reflect Wisconsin’s manufacturing and trade economy, and to encourage students to pursue careers in this industry.
Since 2010, BBB has awarded a total of $177,500 in scholarships to Wisconsin high school seniors.
