The Better Business Bureau (BBB) has awarded 15 Wisconsin high school seniors each a $2,500 scholarship as part of its annual statewide BBB Students of Integrity Scholarship program, according to a recent press release.
These scholarships are intended for post-high school education at any Wisconsin-based accredited college beginning in the fall. Two of the 15 scholarships are reserved for students who will be attending two-year college programs, and two are reserved for students in the Milwaukee Public School system.
Among the winners are John Karls of Waunakee Community High School, set to attend the Milwaukee School of Engineering, and Breyonce Keller of Destinations Career Academy, who plans to attend Madison Area Technical College.
Scholarship recipients are chosen by an independent judging panel made up of college admissions counselors, community leaders, and a past scholarship recipient. Recipients of the scholarship program are chosen primarily from letters of reference and a personal essay.
Funding for the 2024 BBB Students of Integrity Scholarship program is provided by the support of donors, including We Energies Foundation, Baird, Dave Jones, Johnson Financial, Roger and Shirley Schroeder, UW–Whitewater, Bartolotta Catering & Events, Catholic Financial, Concordia University, Harley Davidson Motor Co., Make-A-Wish Wisconsin, Milwaukee Brewers, O’Leary & Anick, Silver Lake Auto & Tire Centers, Town Bank, Plum Media, and Green Bay Packers Give Back.
Scholarship recipients will be recognized at the annual BBB Ethics Awards Luncheon on Thursday, May 16, at the Italian Community Center in Milwaukee.
