BBB awards 10 scholarships to Wisconsin high school students who have demonstrated character, leadership and ethical values. The scholarships will be awarded for post-high school education at any Wisconsin-based accredited college beginning in the fall of 2020, including community colleges/technical colleges. As the scholarship recipients pursue their careers, BBB Serving Wisconsin hopes to develop future business leaders who will promote ethics in the Wisconsin marketplace.

To be eligible for this award, the student must: Be a high school senior, be a Wisconsin state resident, have a 3.0 or show GPA improvement consistently over time and plan to attend a Wisconsin-based accredited higher education institution. 

To earn a scholarship, students must submit two letters of recommendation from an advisor or community member.
