Students Of Integrity Scholarship Announced
The Better Business Bureau Serving Northern Indiana (BBB) Charitable and Education Foundation is now accepting applications for its Students of Integrity Scholarship program for the 2026–27 school year.
Six or more high school and college students who demonstrate integrity and ethical behavior in leadership roles at school and in the community will each receive a one-time $2,000 scholarship for tuition and educational expenses. A panel of judges will select recipients, and scholarships will be paid directly to the college or university of the student’s choice.
Since its inception in 2006, the program has awarded more than $200,000 in scholarships to deserving students across Northern Indiana by partnering with local universities and businesses, including Brotherhood Mutual, C&E Excavating, Charley Butcher/WOWO, Indiana Tech and Manchester University.
“We’re proud to celebrate students who set an example by living with exceptional integrity,” said Megan White, BBB scholarship coordinator. “These scholarships honor leaders whose honesty and accountability inspire others and make a lasting impact on their schools and communities.”
