BBB Serving Acadiana Scholarship Program

The scholarship fund is awarded to three students in our seven parish service area at the community college, university, and trade school levels.

Donate to the Scholarship Fund

Students applying for a Students of Integrity Scholarship must write an essay focused on integrity and ethics, including some examples on how you apply it to everyday life.

In May of 2021, BBB serving Acadiana launched our Students of Integrity scholarship program. Three students are recognized annually who reside in or attend school in, our 7-parish service area who personify and communicate ethics and integrity in the real world, as demonstrated through community service, personal integrity, and academic accomplishments. This opportunity is open to students enrolled at the community college, university, and trade school level.

Student honorees are selected by a panel of judges. Student recipients, along with their family and friends, are invited to the Torch Awards for Ethics Program celebration, where they receive their award and recognition. The Students of Integrity scholarships are made possible by funds from our annual spring event and generous donations from Acadiana businesses and consumers.

Congratulations to the 2023 Students of Integrity Scholarship Recipients!
