ATLANTA – Chick-fil-A gave over 500 metro-Atlanta team members the gift of a lifetime by surprising them with over $1.3 million in scholarships.
And the way they some of them found out is too adorable.
Chick-fil-A released a video highlighting 13 team members from across the nation who were awarded a $25,000 scholarship by presenting them with a giant packet of sauce. But it wasn’t just any packet. Inside was an iPad with a special message from Chick-fil-A CEO Dan Cathy.
In metro Atlanta, 543 members of the 5,700 nationwide were awarded scholarships between $2,500 to $25,000 racking up a total of $1,357,500 in scholarships. These scholarships are part of Chick-fil-A’s Remarkable Futures Initiative which invested $14.65 million across the country this spring alone.
“The Remarkable Futures initiative is more than just a scholarship, it’s an investment in team members’ futures, goals and dreams,” said Rodney Bullard, vice president of Community Affairs at Chick-fil-A. “We are thrilled to increase funding this year to help even more team members achieve their fullest potential.”
The scholarships are to help team members begin or continue their education at the school of their choice.
