With a long history of providing scholarships within the local SETX area and established endowments with both Lamar University Beaumont and Lamar State College Port Arthur, in 2019 we began awarding through the Student of Integrity program.
BBB Serving Southeast Texas had previously sent a scholarship endowment to Lamar University, LIT and Lamar-Port Arthur. 2019 was the first year that students applied and were awarded directly through the BBB Consumer Education Foundation.
In 2019, the Consumer Education Foundation awarded 6 individual students $2500 each. Unfortunately in 2020, due to the pandemic, only 2 students received the scholarship. However, after initially only award 4 students in 2021, the Foundation was able to provide an additional 2 students after a very successful fundraising event.
In the Spring of 2022 and 2023 BBB Southeast Texas and the Education Foundation continued to award 6 recipients each $2500. After a successful fundraiser and continuous growth, the Foundation awarded 8 recipients in 2024.
