BURGER KING Scholars Program awards are awarded each year. The number of awards will be determined by the funds available and the number of applicants. Most scholarships are non-renewable awards of up to $1,000. Awards cannot exceed educational costs.
The BURGER KING Scholars scholarships can be applied to tuition, fees, or books required for course load at accredited, two- or four-year colleges/universities in the United States, Canada, or Puerto Rico (Note: Employees and employees’ spouses or domestic partners may use awards to take enrichment courses at accredited institutions).
A student may transfer from one institution to another within their award year and retain the award provided the institution and their enrollment fulfill eligibility criteria.
