HAVE IT YOUR WAY FOUNDATION

Burger King® Scholars Program

"Education is the Foundation's cornerstone and we will
 continue to work hard to build brighter futures through
 education in our communities."

OVERVIEW

The BURGER KING Scholars Program was established in 2000 in memory of BURGER KING founder James W. McLamore. The
BURGER KING Scholars Program focuses on providing scholarship awards to assist students who excel academically while also working part-time and being actively involved in their community. To date, more than $12.7 million in scholarships have been awarded to high school seniors in the United States, Canada and Puerto Rico.

Every year, the BURGER KING Scholars Program helps graduating high school seniors build brighter futures. The awards ($1,000 each) are sponsored annually by the fundraising efforts of Burger King Corporation, BURGER KING franchisees and our restaurant guests in the United States, Canada, and Puerto Rico.

The BURGER KING Scholars Program also includes BURGER KING Employee Scholarship awards. Restaurant employees are an important part of the success of our fundraising efforts at restaurants. For this reason, we provide $1,000 scholarships awards to eligible restaurant team members working at a qualified participating restaurant location in the U.S., Canada and Puerto Rico. Additionally, the top BURGER KING Employee Scholarship applicants will be eligible to receive a James W. McLamore Outstanding Scholar award in the amount of $5,000. The James W. McLamore Outstanding Scholar Awards are generously funded by the McLamore Family Foundation on a yearly basis.

All BURGER KING Scholars awards must be used for educational expenses, such as tuition or required fees and books, and must be used during the first year of college or post-secondary vocational/technical school. Awards are given without regard to race, color, creed, religion, gender, disability or national origin. Administrative support for the BURGER KING Scholars Program is provided by ISTS, Inc.
