This is the third year that the Better Business Bureau of Wisconsin Foundation has offered financial scholarships to Wisconsin high school students who have demonstrated character, leadership and ethical values; providing the opportunity to continue their education beyond high school at an accredited college.
In addition, these scholarship are intended to create long-term ties with future Wisconsin business leaders who will promote ethics in the marketplace as they pursue their careers. Scholarship winners are spotlighted at the BBB's annual Torch Award for Business Ethics & Integrity banquet in October.
