BBB Accepting Applications For $1,000 Scholarship

January 22, 2011

The Better Business Bureau Foundation of Northwest Florida is currently accepting applications for the 2011 Student Ethics Scholarship.

The Student Ethics Scholarship Award is given to college-bound students within the BBB Northwest Florida service area who demonstrate overall personal integrity and ethical behavior.

A total of nine high school junior and senior students will be granted $1,000 Student Ethics Scholarships this year. Three students in each of the BBB’s three districts will receive a $1,000 scholarship toward the accredited college or university of their choice.

Local leaders from businesses and academia will serve as judges and award scholarships based on criteria including leadership, community service, academic achievement and an essay response on building character.

The Student Ethics Scholarship will be awarded in conjunction with the Torch Award for Marketplace Ethics and the Customer Service Excellence Award. The Torch Award was created to recognize businesses and charities that insist on exceptionally high standards of behavior in dealing with customers, vendors and employees. The Customer Service Excellence Award recognizes employees who go above and beyond in their customer service activities.

The application deadline is March 18, 2011. Scholarship recipients will be recognized and asked to read their essay at a luncheon in their district to be held in May.
