Celebrating our 2025 Recipients
In February, our Community Scholars were surprised at the Chick-fil-A, Inc. Support Center in Atlanta, Georgia. Our 12 Community Scholars were selected due to their outstanding academic achievement, demonstrated care through community service, as well as personal recommendations from a teacher, coach, community leader or mentor who spoke to each recipient’s personal and professional achievements.
Meet the Scholars
This year’s recipients are incredible community-service minded leaders with impressive academic, professional and personal goals. We are honored to be a part of their journey, and we can’t wait to see what they accomplish in the years ahead. Congratulations to the 2025 Chick-fil-A Community Scholars.
