About this scholarship

The Burger King Scholars Program supports high school seniors, Burger King employees, and eligible employee families. Awards range from $1,000 to $60,000 and can be used at a two-year or four-year college, university, or vocational-technical school. Selection considers GPA, work experience, activities, financial need, and community service. The 2027–28 application opens October 15, 2026 and closes December 15 or when 30,000 applications arrive, whichever comes first. Review the current track rules before applying: senior and employee eligibility is different.
