1. Inform Team Members about scholarship opportunities
   Share the Team Member toolkit, direct them to Chick-fil-A.com/scholarships, and post the collateral found on The Studio in your Restaurant.
2. Guide Team Members through the application process
   Consider hosting an application night in your Restaurant or offering to help Team Members one-on-one. Note: Once submitted, applications become the property of Scholarship America. We recommend Team Members share their applications with their Operators before submission.
3. Write thorough recommendations
   Operator recommendations are a significant portion of Team Members’ overall scores. Recommendations should include as much information as possible about their demonstrated leadership, contribution, work ethic, teamwork, and other positive attributes.
4. Watch out for Operator franchisee emails
   Stay informed about the latest information from Scholarship America and the Remarkable Futures team.
