BASF awarded scholarships to six high school students from Ascension Parish to help them develop business management skills through participation in the Young Entrepreneurs Academy of Baton Rouge (YEA BR). YEA BR is an after-school program that teaches students in grades 8–12 how to create and run their own independent companies. Students graduated recently from the Academy and will continue to build and grow the businesses they launched in the program.

We are very grateful for the shared commitment to make the initial days of third- through eighth-grade state assessments a success.
