December Deadlines

BURGER KING SCHOLARS

DEADLINE: DECEMBER 15, 2023 (APPLY EARLY because Burger King may only review the first 50,000 applications received)

Created in memory of Burger King Co-founder James “Jim” W. McLamore, the Burger King Scholars program has awarded nearly $55 million in scholarships to over 45,000 high school students, BK® employees and their families across North America since 2000. In 2022 alone, the Foundation awarded over $4.6 million in scholarships to nearly 4,000 students.

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 (GPA), work experience, extracurricular activities and community service.

Applications will be accepted from October 16 through December 15, 2023. Apply early! For more information and to apply, visit: https://www.burgerkingfoundation.org/programs/burger-king-sm-scholars
