Barbara J. Sinnott Student of Integrity Scholarship (BBB)
Five high school seniors will take home $1,000 each from the Better Business Bureau of Central New England's Consumer Education Foundation. Scholarships will be awarded to students residing in one of the 225 communities BBB serves. Last year's winners represented Montachusett Regional Vocational Technical School in Fitchburg, Auburn High School, Leominster High School, Hoosac Valley High School in Adams, and Amherst Regional High School in Amherst.
Scholarships will be awarded to high school seniors based on several factors, including an essay answer to a question posed on:
- The importance of character
- Always doing the right thing
- How they encourage others also to do the right thing
Scholarship applicants must write an essay defining their character-building efforts, specifically addressing how they had motivated others to do the right thing, even when no one else was watching.
Students are asked to demonstrate notable leadership skills, display their commitment to community service, and discuss how their ethical judgment governs their everyday lives. Applicants are also required to submit a recent transcript. We have been inspired by the work of all our previous entrants and look forward to what this academic year brings.
The deadline for this year's scholarship entries has past.
Winners will be announced in early June.
