Deadline Extended for the Student Ethics Scholarship Award



The deadline for the Student Ethics Scholarship Award of the Better Business Bureau of Central NC has been extended from March 4 to March 28.

"We want to give students every opportunity to win this scholarship," said Kevin Hinterberger, president and CEO of the BBB. "This extension should take the students through spring break."

Hinterberger also reminded Accredited Businesses that and their relatives are eligible to participate in the scholarship.

"We'd love to have one of our BBB family members win a scholarship," said Kevin Hinterberger, president and CEO of the BBB.

And thanks to BB&T, the scholarships will be substantially increased this year - $17,500 will be available for four scholarships.

"BB&T has made our scholarship something even more special with their gift," said Kevin Hinterberger, president & CEO of the BBB.

The scholarship recognizes high school students who personify high ethical standards.

That gift will allow BBB in 2016 to award one scholarship for $7,500, one for $5,000 and two for $2,500.

Scholarships can be submitted by mail, in person or by going online at:

The award is open to any senior attending high schools in Guilford, Alamance, Randolph, Rockingham and Caswell counties and the city of Thomasville. The deadline is March 28.

A winner may plan to attend any accredited college, university, community college, or trade school, with either a two-year or four-year degree program, in a field of the student's choice.

The scholarships are for one year.
Judging will be conducted by an independent panel of judges. Criteria will be based upon leadership, community service, academic achievement and a 500-word essay on an ethical dilemma that the student has faced.

The winners will be announced in the spring.
