Tampa Chick-fil-A Employee Awarded True Inspiration Scholarship

TAMPA, FL — As part of the new Chick-fil-A Community Scholars program, Tampa Chick-fil-A team member and Southeastern University sophomore Mireina Ramirez has been awarded a $25,000 True Inspiration Scholarship.

Every year through the Remarkable Futures Scholarship initiative, Chick-fil-A offers two scholarship opportunities — the True Inspiration Scholarship of $25,000 and the Leadership Scholarship from $1,000 or $2,500 — to team members who work at a franchised, company-owned or -affiliated restaurant.

The scholarships can be used at any accredited college, university or technical/vocational school and are available for both full-time and part-time students. All scholarship funds are paid in advance.

Ramirez studies multidisciplinary studies and double minors in church music and organizational leadership.

Her goal is to be a ministry leader.

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.”
