I believe that it is important for me to give back to my community, which has given me so much, and I think that is one of the reasons
as to why I am a BURGER KINGSM Scholar. This scholarship is going to make a large difference in my educational career. Not having to
worry about money and taking out student loans will take a load of stress off of me and I will be able to better focus on my studies. I
am very excited to see what the future holds and cant wait to go into a career of agriculture and continuing doing what I love.
Courtney Thurston
Mechanicsburg, PA | Embry-Riddle Aeronautical University, Computer Engineering
Coming from a single-parent household, I was lucky to have a mother who was always supportive of me despite our circumstances
our financial situation, my disability, and the after-effects of domestic violence. She supported my research, helped me keep going
when I heard no, and allowed me to travel for internships even when we couldnt immediately afford itshe always believed in me.
More than anything else, this scholarship means being able to show my mom that she was right: her sacrifices were worth it.

For some, a scholarship may just seem like a monetary contribution towards ones future. For me, a scholarship is an emotional
contributionnot just a financial investment, but a personal investment of ones time and efforts into my dream. With this honor, I can
garner the bravery to move forward in my education and studies without having hesitations. I have a plan not just for my future, but
for the future of the worldand I will do whatever it takes to see my plan through.

Three years ago, the Foundation launched a unique partnership with the National Restaurant Association Educational Foundation
(NRAEF) with the goal of advancing education and building brighter futures for students who dream of making it, much like Jim
McLamore once did, in the restaurant industry. The NRAEF hosts a culinary and restaurant management competition each year, the
National ProStart Invitational, which welcomes top students from each state to compete for a spot in nationals.
In April, we partnered with the NRAEF once more to grant an additional $50,000 in BURGER KINGSM Scholars awards to students in the
ProStart Invitational. The $1,000 scholarships were awarded to each member of the first through fifth place winning teams at the event
in Anaheim, Calif.
Having graduated college already, Kendra, Jane and Breanna have moved on to the next step
of building their bright futures. We are proud of their achievements and to have them as part
of our BURGER KINGSM Scholars family.
Ive realized life doesnt get easier after collegeit becomes even more of a balancing act and what you spend your time on is
what is most important to you. My future plans are to get my MBA in the next five years, start a blog of my life adventures, and
write and illustrate a childrens book. The impact from the scholarship I have received is still far reaching and touched more
than just my life alone.
In August 2016, I will be starting my first year at Harvard Medical School. I am excited to begin the journey of learning to be a
doctor!
The past year has been exciting and busy! I currently am completing my first physical therapy internship and starting my second
of three years of the doctorate program at my alumni St. Scholastica. My plans in the next few years will be to finish my doctorate
degree and work in northern Minnesota because I love my home state and would love to stay close to family and friends.

Not only does Abigail gain knowledge at a Room to Read and Foundation
library, she shares it, too! Her two younger cousins, Thomas and James,
are now avid readers thanks to Abigail, who has set up a mini classroom
in her home. Every week, Abigail and her two cousins read at least one
storybook to each other at home, sharing their dreams and encouraging
each other to reach their goals.
I feel like I am on top of the world because the library is the key to my
future dream, Abigail said.
