Church's Chicken Announces Beaumont Area Students For 2017 Church's Scholars
Church's Chicken® gave back to its Atlanta community for the third consecutive year in a row by sponsoring a build day with the Atlanta Habitat for Humanity.
- Beaumont-Port Arthur, TX (1888PressRelease) May 27, 2017 - Church's Chicken® recently named its 2017 Church's Scholars, and among the scholarship recipients are Beaumont area students, Ki'Anna August and Haley White. These students were among 240 high school seniors across 15 states who were selected to each receive $1,000 toward their college tuition.
Overseeing the program is Church's Partners Foundation, Inc. which works to recognizes students on educational merit. Scholarships may be used toward college tuitions during the 2017-2018 academic year at an accredited two or four-year college, university or vocational/trade school in the United States.
"Now in our 4th year of operation, we're proud of the Beaumont area students who have become Church's Scholars and our past recipients who are nearing graduation and are preparing to become working professionals in the community," said Ed Brett, Chief Human Resources Officer for Church's Chicken. "Stepping up, and making a difference in the communities we serve, is a top value for the brand".
The Beaumont area students were among the 240 recipients of the $1,000 scholarships. Students had to demonstrate key achievements to be considered, including grade point average, work experience, and involvement in extracurricular school and community activities.
"I am very thankful to receive the Church's scholarship, this will help me finance and further my education in hopes of a successful future," said Haley White, who will be attending Lamar University in the fall.
Through the generous support of participating company and franchise Church's Chicken restaurants, the Church's Partners Foundation was able to increase scholarship funding by 7 percent this year. A primary generator of funding is the annual Church's in-restaurant Scholars coupon book promotion in which participating restaurants provide a coupon booklet filled with Church's value to any guest for a $1 donation. Additional funds are supplemented by direct contributions from franchisees and vendors.
Local franchisee involved in the program includes David Davoudpour.
