Graduation season is in full effect as many teens are preparing to enter their first year of college. Luckily, Church’s Chicken is lending a helping hand, because it has awarded a few Atlanta students with scholarships.

Jasmine Griffin, Jala Hawkins, and Derek Goshay were among the 240 high school seniors across 15 states who were selected for the $1,000 scholarships toward their college tuition.

The fast food chain, which partners with Church’s Partners Foundation for the program each year, recognizes scholars with stellar academic achievements.

"Now in our 4th year of operation, we're proud of the Atlanta area students who have become Church's Scholars and our past recipients who are nearing graduation and are preparing to become working professionals in the community," said Ed Brett, Chief Human Resources Officer for Church's Chicken. "Stepping up, and making a difference in the communities we serve, is a top value for the brand".
