Every year, SuretyBonds.com is proud to host the Small Business Scholarship Program. Students are asked to submit an essay about their small business experience and how it has shaped their lives and paved the way for their future plans. Today, I am excited to announce our 9 finalists in the running to receive a $1,500 scholarship to help invest in their entrepreneurial endeavors.
It’s been a tough month for the SuretyBonds.com scholarship committee as we’ve read hundreds of inspiring and moving stories from students across the U.S. The talent, ambition, ideas and potential we’ve seen come through this year is unmatched. After several rounds of discussions and very difficult decisions, we’ve arrived at our finalists for this year’s program.
