If you like the sound of that we’d love to meet you!

We genuinely and whole-heartedly want to see each other succeed,
not only at work but also beyond the four walls.

Chick-fil-A scholarship winners

Since 1973, Chick-fil-A has invested more than $112 million in scholarships to help over 67,000 Team Members pursue a college education and achieve their remarkable future — whether it’s with Chick-fil-A or elsewhere.
