Have it Your Way with a Burger King Scholarship
The Have it Your Way Foundation has given out more than $1 million in scholarships nationwide. The number of awards each year is determined by the number of applicants and the funds available and is awarded in the amount of a $1000 one-time award, and the student is allowed to transfer from one institution to another and retain the award.
Students must be high school seniors with a GPA average of 2.5 or higher, demonstrate participation in community service activities, have financial need, plan to enroll in an accredited 2 or 4-year college/university or vocational/technical school by the fall term of the graduating year. Students can be private, public, or home schooled and do not have to be a Burger King employee, but employees may be eligible for a scholarship.
Created in memory of Burger King co-founder James W. McLamore, the Burger King Scholars Program has awarded a total of 12,720 scholarships representing more than $12.7 million since the program’s inception in 2000.
Scholarship funds come directly from the Have It Your Way Foundation, company-owned and franchise Burger King restaurants throughout the country that host a variety of fundraising activities in order to generate monies for scholarships each year.
