A new holiday fundraiser at participating Bojangles restaurants is directing attention toward college and trade school support for eligible families.
The company announced November 12 that its campaign will run through December 13, raising money for the Mae and George Siller Tunnel to Towers Foundation Scholarship Program.

Customers can support the effort through participating restaurants, with donations helping fund educational assistance.
For families, the scholarship program itself is the more important resource to understand.
Tunnel to Towers lists eligibility for legal children of families served by its In the Line of Duty Program, as well as legal children of military personnel whose deaths were related to their service in the line of duty.
Additional requirements include being age 33 or younger, enrollment or planned enrollment in a qualifying undergraduate, trade or certification program, and maintaining at least a 2.0 semester GPA.
The foundation also describes possible assistance with eligible past educational expenses and student loans. Funding is subject to review, available resources and program requirements; an award is not guaranteed.
Families can begin through the official scholarship page or contact collegescholarships@t2t.org.
The restaurant fundraiser’s December 13 end date should not be confused with a scholarship application deadline. The foundation describes its application review as ongoing.
