Chick-fil-A Palm Coast Operator Glen Efford recently surprised five Chick-fil-A team members with Remarkable Future Scholarships.
The team members were awarded checks disguised as giant sauce containers that totaled $12,500.
The scholarship recipients were Tyler Haywood, Alexandra Khoriakov, Maria Maglalang, Mariah Siebert and Aiden Martin. This is Siebert’s fourth year receiving the scholarship, Maglalang’s third year and Khoriakov’s second year.
Chick-fil-A Scholarships began when its founder, Truett Cathy, set a mayonnaise jar on his first restaurant counter to help a team member pursue his dream of a college education. Since 1973, Chick-fil-A has helped over 105,000 team members achieve remarkable futures through a total investment of $191 million in scholarships.
Efford said he is fortunate for the lasting impact these team members have left on his restaurant and its guests.
“We are so proud of these outstanding young people because they represent the best of our youth today,” Efford said. “Each one of them possesses a true servant’s heart, and they display care in everything they do, both in the restaurant and in their community. Simply put, they are remarkable.”
In order to qualify for the scholarship, team members must show involvement in the community, have an influential role within the restaurant and be recommended by senior leadership.
