Marshfield Student Selected for BBB’s Students of Integrity Scholarship

Wednesday, May 7th, 2025 -- 10:01 AM

Better Business Bureau® (BBB) has awarded 15 Wisconsin high school seniors each a $2,500 scholarship as part of its annual statewide BBB Students of Integrity Scholarship program.

These scholarships are intended for post-high school education at any Wisconsin-based accredited college beginning in the fall; two of the 15 scholarships are reserved for students who will be attending two-year college programs, and two are reserved for students in the Milwaukee Public School system.

One local recipient is Alexa Schoen with Marshfield High School who plans to attend the University of Wisconsin - Madison. Scholarship recipients are chosen by an independent judging panel made up of community and business leaders, including a past scholarship recipient.

Recipients of the scholarship program are chosen primarily from letters of reference and a personal essay, which prompts students to discuss an ethical dilemma they have faced and to describe how they dealt with that issue based on their understanding of integrity and ethics.

This year’s scholarship winners discussed ethical dilemmas related to workplace ethics, family values, social injustices, and personal commitments.
