Burger King Scholars Program

The Burger King Scholars Program offers a significantly easier path to funding than the Davidson Fellows Scholarship (#10), with over $3.5 million awarded annually. Scholarships range from $1,000 to $50,000, and you don’t need to work at Burger King—the general scholarship is open to all U.S., Canada, and Puerto Rico high school seniors with a 2.5+ GPA. Since 2000, the foundation has distributed more than $44 million to over 40,000 students. The application process is straightforward, and competition is far less intense than most major scholarships, giving you a 1 in 3 chance of winning if you meet the basic criteria.
