SuretyBonds.com is excited to announce, for the fifth year in a row, the ten finalists in the running for the 2017 Small Business Scholarship! We invited students from around the country to submit essays telling us the influence of small business on their lives and career paths. After reading hundreds of inspiring entrepreneurial stories, with great difficulty the scholarship committee chose ten exceptional students as finalists to receive one of three $1,500 scholarships awarded by SuretyBonds.com.
