    Daly City Student Awarded $25,000 Chick-fil-A Scholarship

    A Chick-fil-A Daly City employee was awarded a $25,000 college scholarship.

    “I want to present you with a $25,000 Chick-fil-A scholarship,” stated CEO Andrew Cathy.

    Noel Hwang is one of 14 “True Inspiration” scholarship recipients in North America.

    He will be a first-generation college student, the son of immigrant parents.

    During his time on the job, Hwang assisted in the launch of a pilot program called the “Leader Academy” at his local restaurant, as well as the facilitation of community service projects.

    “Seeing this much money to fund my future education made me very grateful. I almost sobbed, but my defensive mechanism when I’m overwhelmed is to laugh, so I started laughing instead, and I was just so happy and grateful,” Hwang said.

    He will graduate high school in May and is still deciding where he will go to college in the fall.
