More than a scholarship

All BBB Foundation Scholarship recipients are invited to the BBB Foundation’s annual Integrity Golf Classic, where they connect with business leaders, build meaningful relationships, and even enjoy golf lessons with a club professional. More than funding, it’s an opportunity to form lasting connections and gain mentorship that can shape their future careers.

Past scholarship recipients
