High school seniors in BBB’s service area who are children of active-duty or retired military members and adult learners who are spouses of active-duty or retired military members are invited to apply by writing an essay describing a time when your integrity was challenged. A first place winner will receive a scholarship of $1,750, second place will receive $1,350 and third place will receive a $1,100 scholarship.

  • Tools of Trust Trade Scholarship: For young people entering trades careers, job-related expenses such as tools and protective clothing can add up quickly. The BBB Tools of Trust Trade Scholarship supports the next generation of tradespeople entering the workforce by awarding funds to help offset these costs. Applicants must be 23 years old or younger, have less than 12 months of experience in a trade career and be in BBB’s service area in Kentucky and Indiana.
