Celebrating Students’ Remarkable Futures with Chick-fil-A

Scholarship America’s Eric Wilner, Amanda Bonham, and Jacquelyn Bengfort recently made their way to Chick-fil-A Burnsville in Burnsville, Minnesota, to celebrate five of the more than 16,000 recipients of Chick-fil-A’s Remarkable Futures scholarships.

Operator Andrew Johnson and his team welcomed scholarship recipients and their families with flowers and cupcakes before everyone sat down to a meal of their menu favorites. He recognized the achievements of each of the recipients, celebrating their contributions to the Chick-fil-A Burnsville team of approximately 100 Team Members, and looked forward to all they will achieve in college and beyond.

Chick-fil-A awarded more than $29 million in scholarships to Team Members at restaurants in the United States, Canada and Puerto Rico in 2026. Recipients averaged a 3.63 GPA, and 22% will be the first in their families to attend college. The most popular majors among Chick-fil-A Remarkable Futures recipients this year are nursing, business, psychology, biology, and mechanical engineering.

Scholarship America is proud to support this generous program and looks forward to many more years of helping to fund remarkable futures!
