The Better Business Bureau this week recognized 10 local students who were each selected to receive a $1,000 BBB Student of Integrity Scholarship. Nearly 100 students from Southeast Tennessee and Northwest Georgia submitted their entries to BBB, which included an essay on the importance of ethics in business and our community. Students also provided information on their involvement in community service, leadership opportunities, and academics.

A panel of judges reviewed the entries and BBB is proud to recognize the following 2021 scholarship recipients:

Grady Beach, Chattooga High School

Carsi Beaty, McMinn Central High School

Colby Couch, Model High School
