Burger King Scholars Program

The Burger King McLamore Foundation awards over $3.5 million annually to high school seniors, Burger King employees, and employees' dependents. Scholarships range from $1,000 to $50,000. You don't need to work at Burger King to apply — the general scholarship is open to all graduating seniors in the U.S., Canada, and Puerto Rico with a 2.5+ GPA. The foundation has awarded over $44 million since 2000 to more than 40,000 students. The application is straightforward and the competition is far less intense than most major scholarships.
