BBB

Better Business Bureau (BBB) of Minnesota and North Dakota promotes integrity and ethics in the marketplace through voluntary business self-regulation. Each year we present the BBB Torch Awards for Ethics to companies who demonstrate ethical business practices. BBB also recognizes that ethics and integrity are founded on principles we learn young — at home, at school and in dealings with our peers. For that reason, we are proud to offer an annual scholarship program recognizing Students of Integrity.

2023 Scholarship applications will be opening in January 2023.

Entries for the Student of Integrity Scholarships will be reviewed by an independent panel of judges of local business and community leaders selected by BBB. Judging will be based mainly on the content of the essay, although future plans and goals, your reference letter, and outside activities will also be used by the judges in making their final selections.

Scholarship money is awarded directly toward winners’ post-secondary education expenses (tuition or room/board only) at any accredited institution. This is a one-time, non-renewable scholarship. The recipient is required to be enrolled in an educational institution beginning the first fall quarter/trimester/semester immediately following high school graduation.

The scholarships are presented in conjunction with the BBB Torch Awards for Ethics, which are given to companies that demonstrate ethics in their business practices.
