Students can apply now for BBB Student of Integrity scholarships.
Honest, hard-working students looking for financial assistance can start applying now to the 2022 Student of Integrity Scholarship Program administered by the Better Business Bureau Serving Southeast Texas (BBB) and the BBB Education Foundation.
BBB initiated the program in 2019, awarding a total of $35,000 in scholarships to 14 local students over the last three years. This spring, BBB Consumer Education Foundation of BBB Southeast Texas will award six $2,500 scholarships to high school students who personify and communicate ethics in the real world, as demonstrated through community service, personal integrity and academic accomplishments. The scholarships will be awarded to qualifying high school seniors that reside in the following counties: Chambers, Hardin, Jasper, Jefferson, Liberty, Newton, Orange, Tyler and the Bolivar Peninsula.
BBB President and CEO Liz Fredrichs stated, “BBB is honored to recognize and support local students that are our future workforce, who stand out for their activities and choices in school, home and the community. Through the generosity of local accredited businesses, we can again offer our 2022 Student of Integrity scholarships.”
Winners will be selected by independent judges chosen by BBB. Judges will select the scholarship recipients based on their leadership, contributions to their communities and schools, personal integrity, academic accomplishments, letter of reference and written essay.
