$25,000 Chick-fil-A Scholarship Awarded To Land O' Lakes High Student

LAND O' LAKES, FL — As part of the new Chick-fil-A Community Scholars program, Allen Ho, a senior at Land O’ Lakes High School and incoming student at Massachusetts Institute of Technology, has been awarded a $25,000 scholarship from Chick-fil-A.

Ho is one of 13 community service-minded leaders to be recognized.

His dream is to create a sustainable business to aid and empower civilians in Burma. He volunteered with the United States Campaign for Burma throughout high school.

To support himself and his family, he began a phone repair business where he learned resilience and stewardship.

This year, Chick-fil-A celebrates the 50th anniversary of its scholarship giving, which has helped restaurant team members pursue academic goals and further their career opportunities since 1973.

Chick-fil-A Inc. has awarded more than $25 million in scholarships in 2023, investing in higher education for more than 13,000 restaurant team members and 13 community service-minded students across the U.S. and Canada.

“Investing in the education and development of future leaders is one of the greatest opportunities we have to care for others,” said Andrew T. Cathy, CEO of Chick-fil-A Inc. “We are inspired by this year’s recipients and are honored to support their aspirations to further their education, achieve their personal goals and positively impact their communities.”
