Ottawa Business Builders (OBB) is an organization of business leaders in the Ottawa community with diverse educational backgrounds and careers. OBB would like to reach out and assist two high school graduates with their post-high school or career education in the hope of them returning and enhancing the community through entrepreneurship. Whether their dream is to start their own small business to provide goods or services to the community, entrepreneurs often have big dreams, and we want to hear theirs!

OBB will provide up to $1,000 each in financial assistance to two scholarship winners. The applicants must be high school seniors graduating in Spring 2023 and residing in the 61350 zip code or attending a school located in the 61350 zip code. Students currently completing their education at home will also be eligible. The students should plan to further their career paths with post-high school education (community college, trade school, university, vocational, or certification program) with the intention of pursuing an entrepreneurial career in the Ottawa area. Two scholarships up to $1,000.00 each will be awarded.

We encourage applicants of all backgrounds and entrepreneurial pursuits. Interested applicants are encouraged to visit ottawabusinessbuilders.com/obb-future-entrepreneur-scholarship/ to apply.

Applications must be received by April 21, 2023, for consideration.

Questions can be directed to Carrie Herro, 2023 OBB President, at carrie@cardnetco.com.
