[September 29, 2010]  History, nursing, engineering, music. Culver's restaurants in 2010 alone have awarded $250,000 in scholarships to 225 team members across the country so students can focus on their study of choice with a little less worry about finances. Four local team members at Culver's of Lincoln were recently awarded scholarships from the Culver's VIP Foundation Scholarship Fund.

Chelsea Jones received $1,500 toward her education at Methodist College of Nursing in Peoria. Brittney Greitman was awarded $1,000 to help with her educational goals at Western Illinois University in Macomb. Devan Conley and Jenna Hubrich were each awarded $1,000 for their education at Heartland Community College in Normal.

"Because young people are such a critical part of our team, we are proud to recognize our student team members who excel in school and work hard to deliver a memorable experience for our guests," said Elaine Aue, owner-operator of Culver's of Lincoln. "All of these girls have a strong commitment to excellence and academic achievement, and we know they will be successful in whatever career path is chosen."

Chelsea and Brittney have both decided on nursing for a career path. Devan plans on becoming a veterinarian, and Jenna, already a manager at Culver's, is majoring in small business management.

"Culver's dedication to our people extends beyond our own workplaces," said Len Culver, Culver's co-founder and executive director of the VIP Scholarship Fund. "With tuition and fees continuing to rise at colleges and universities, this scholarship program allows us to help many of our young team members achieve their dreams of higher education."

Since Culver's began the scholarship program in 1993, it has invested more than $1.6 million in student scholarships to more than 1,600 team members.
