Burger King Scholars Program

 

 

Created in memory of BURGER KING co-founder James W. McLamore, the BURGER KING Scholars program has awarded more than 17,000 scholarships—$17.6 million—to high school students, BURGER KING^® employees and their children across the U.S., Canada and Puerto Rico. Last spring, thanks to the support of the BK^® family and the McLamore Family Foundation, the Foundation awarded more than 2000 scholarships, totaling more than $2.2 million, nearly doubling the number of scholarships granted in 2011.

Scholarship grants range from $1,000 to $50,000, and are intended to help students offset the cost of attending college or post-secondary vocational/technical school. Recipients are selected based on their grade point average, work experience, extracurricular activities and/or community service.

Scholarships are funded directly by the BURGER KING McLAMORE^SM Foundation and are made possible thanks to our generous donors, including BK^® employees, franchisees, vendors and guests. Our largest annual fundraiser is the Fall Fundraiser in-restaurant promotion. Every dollar raised through this campaign is used to fund scholarships. Each year we inch closer to our goal of granting one $1,000 scholarship for every BK^® restaurant in North America.

The application period for the 2014 school year begins on Nov. 15, 2013 and ends on Jan. 10, 2014. Click here to view the scholarship eligibility requirements and apply now.
