Reaching Our Educational Goals

Since 1993, we have honored and rewarded over 1,800 Culver’s team members with more than $1.8 million in scholarships. In the words of past recipients, here is a glimpse into the effects we're having on people’s lives.

"…thanks to the generosity of Culver’s VIP Foundation, I am able to concentrate my time and energy on my studies instead of worrying about making ends meet in college. Culver’s is not just about ButterBurgers and Fresh Frozen Custard; it is also about giving back to its friends and co-workers…"

"I am grateful for the scholarships that Culver’s provided to me as I went through college and law school. I appreciate the flexibility offered by Culver’s by being able to work during summers and school breaks while obtaining my education. My time working at Culver’s provided me with many positive experiences including the opportunity to work with others in a supervisory role, something which helps me in my work as an attorney."

"The VIP scholarship helped me focus on my school work instead of worrying about finances. While my parents paid for much of my schooling, I still was responsible for my books, fees and part of my tuition. The VIP scholarship assisted me to pursue my goal of becoming a registered nurse without having to get student loans. I appreciated that fact then and still do now. Although being a registered nurse and working at Culver's don't appear to have much in common, I learned many skills and lessons at Culver’s that I use today as an R.N. Some of the skills that are common to both include leadership, time management and communication. Working at Culver’s during my teenage years helped develop a strong work ethic."

"Culver’s was my first job. It transitioned me from childhood to real adult life. Culver’s taught me responsibility, teamwork, and enthusiasm; all qualities that I have kept with me and use in my job today as an accountant. I hope to continue to use these qualities not only in my job, but all aspects of adult life and decision making."
