In 1955, Truett Cathy set a mayonnaise jar on the restaurant counter. The reason? To help Team Member Eddie White raise funds to pursue his dream of a college education.
Thanks to contributions from guests and Truett himself, Eddie’s dream came true. After graduation, Eddie went on to have a career in education, eventually serving as Assistant Superintendent in the greater Atlanta area.
From that jar, Chick-fil-A’s educational assistance was born. On these pages, you can learn more about Remarkable Futures education assistance and the three ways – Scholarships, Tuition Discounts, and Operator Education Assistance – you can help your Team Members start their own Remarkable Futures.
Since 1970, Chick-fil-A has helped over 66,000 Team Members achieve their remarkable futures through a total investment of $112 million in scholarships. In 2021, we awarded $19 million in scholarships to 7,480 incredible Team Members.
