Burger King extends scholarship application deadline

Burger King has extended the application deadline for its national scholarship awards to July 7, giving students additional time to apply for a share of over $10 million in scholarships for arts, sports, academics, and more.

The original deadline was June 30.

Celebrating over 20 years of supporting education, the Burger King National Scholarship Awards have empowered countless Jamaican students. This year's programme offers 70 scholarships, including book grants, with opportunities for primary, secondary, and tertiary students and Burger King staff.

"We are dedicated to fostering educational growth and providing opportunities for young Jamaicans," said Rashai Graham, assistant brand manager at Burger King Jamaica.

"Extending the deadline ensures that more students can take advantage of these transformative scholarships."

Past recipient Ashley Clark shared, "The Burger King Scholarship allowed me to focus on my studies, leading to twice earning a spot on the Dean's List. I encourage all eligible students to apply."

Jade Simone, a 2021 scholar, added, "This scholarship transformed me from a shy individual to a confident achiever. It's a stepping stone toward your dreams."
