  1. Chick-fil-A® to Award $17 Million in Team Member Scholarships in 2020 A TLANTA (March 9, 2020) – Chick-fil-A® will invest $17 million in restaurant Team Members’ college educations this year, awarding scholarships to 6,700 Team Members in 47 states. As part of Chick-fil-A’s Remarkable Futures education initiative, scholarships can be applied to any area of study at any accredited institution, and the scholarships further Chick-fil-A’s long-standing commitment to education and to helping Team Members achieve their academic dreams. To celebrate, Chick-fil-A invited 12 Team Members to corporate headquarters on March 6 to surprise each with a $25,000 True Inspiration Scholarship. Throughout March, local Chick-fil-A franchise Operators will award $2,500 Leadership Scholarships to 6,688 Team Members. Chick-fil-A’s scholarships initiative offers unique benefits to restaurant Team Members: •Up-front payment: Chick-fil-A scholarships are awarded to recipients up front and can be directly applied to tuition costs, without requiring tuition reimbursement. This program is one of the highest unrestricted per-employee scholarship investments in the quick service restaurant industry. •Applicable at any college or university: Scholarships can be applied in any area of study at any accredited institution of the Team Member’s choice, including any two- or four-year colleges and universities, online programs or technical/vocational schools. •Employment requirements: There is no requirement of hours worked or length of service to qualify. There are three ways Chick-fil-A Team Members can receive educational assistance through the Chick- fil-A scholarships: 1. $25,000 Scholarship: This year, 12 restaurant Team Members will receive an individual, one-time $25,000 True Inspiration Scholarship, amounting to $300,000. Supported by their local Operator, Team Members who demonstrate financial need, academic achievement, leadership and community involvement are encouraged to apply. This year’s 12,679 applicants collectively volunteered more than 1.4 million hours in their communities within one year of the application. 2. $2,500 Scholarship: In 2020, 6,688 Team Members will receive a $2,500 Leadership Scholarship for the upcoming academic year. Team Members may reapply for a potential total of $10,000 for college while working at a Chick-fil-A restaurant. For the first time, more than 150 Team Members were awarded a scholarship for the fourth year in a row. 3. Educational Assistance Opportunities: In addition to scholarships, Chick-fil-A offers all 180,000 restaurant Team Members access to tuition discounts of up to 30% and other educational benefits at 115 colleges and universities across the country. The benefits can be combined with either of the above scholarships.
