Dear Principal,

It is with great pleasure that the HAVE IT YOUR WAY® Foundation will offer students this year’s 2010 BURGER KING® Scholars Program. To date, we have granted more than $12.7 million in scholarships to graduating seniors throughout the United States, Canada and Puerto Rico. In 2009 alone, we awarded $1,060,000.00 in scholarships. We want to make a difference in the lives of these promising students, but we need your help to help us spread the word to your students.

BURGER KING® Scholars awards are $1,000 each and may be used for educational expenses, such as tuition fees and books, during the first year of college or post-secondary vocational/technical school. For students to qualify, they must be a high school senior and a resident of the U.S., Canada or Puerto Rico that meets our criteria below.
