Benjamin Scholl

Student Leader | Photographer | Aspiring Business Professional

I’m Ben Scholl, a graduating senior from Tafton, Pennsylvania, and I am passionate about leadership, innovation, and creative problem-solving. As the outgoing 2025–2026 State President of Pennsylvania FBLA, I am concluding a landmark term focused on fostering connections across our 13,750+ members and serving on the PA FBLA Board of Directors. Throughout my tenure, I’ve prioritized enhancing our social media and streamlining our internal processes to leave a lasting impact on the organization. Beyond the boardroom, I am an award-winning competitor in digital video production and publication design, a student-athlete, and the founder of my own photography business. Driven by the challenge of bringing ideas to life, I look forward to carrying these experiences into my next chapter.
