Pizza Ranch Employees Receive $2,000 College Scholarships
May 23, 2018Each year, the Pizza Ranch Coca-Cola Scholarship Program awards multiple $2,000 scholarships to team members who are currently attending or plan to attend a post-secondary educational institution. To apply, qualifying candidates are asked to submit a written essay that details how they exemplify “Service From The Heart” for guests as they live out the Pizza Ranch mission: To give every guest a legendary experience. As a supplement, the general manager of the restaurant is asked to submit a letter of recommendation for their employee.
This year, ten students were chosen from across the Pizza Ranch Franchise as winners for the $2000 scholarships.
The scholarships are given out to support these employees’ pursuits of continued education. The winners chosen are active in their communities, excel in the classroom and strive to live out the Pizza Ranch Mission & Vision every day, both at work and within their communities. They are known to give legendary service from the heart to all guests and can be found giving 100% every day.
The 2018 winners were Ava Combs from Andover, MN; Megan Westlake from Billings, MT; Madison Hilyar from Elk River, MN; Megan Schoenauer from Green Bay, WI; Emily Ann Fain from Independence, IA; Della Gritsch from Iowa Falls, IA; Connor Fitzgerald from Lisbon, ND; Lana Nielsen from Rapid City (south), SD; Cara Theune from Sioux Center, IA; and Luxes Inthamath from Storm Lake, IA.
