At the Better Business Bureau (BBB), we believe it is never too early to introduce and emphasize on ethics. At the high school level, students begin to face ethical decisions that may impact the rest of their lives. They serve as role models whose moral compass not only guides their actions, but also influences those around them. The BBB seeks to honor ethical students for doing the right thing with the BBB Ethical Torch Essay Scholarship, available both in Greater Arizona and Southern California.

Students are often faced with ethical dilemmas in school, at work, or within their social circles. When faced with a situation or circumstance where there is a choice to be made, how will they respond? This essay prompt challenges students to dive into inner-conflict, while describing resolution tactics for their unique encounters with ethics and integrity with consideration for overall impact as it relates to community.
