Scholarship Opportunities - Ronald McDonald House® Greater Chattanooga


Supporting deserving graduating seniors across Greater Chattanooga and the surrounding counties through scholarships made possible by generous community partners.



Investing in the Next Generation

McDonald’s has been a critical partner in the success of Ronald McDonald House Greater Chattanooga since the beginning. Soon after the House opened, local McDonald’s owner-operators saw another opportunity to make a lasting difference by establishing an endowment to support scholarships for deserving graduating seniors.


Since 2002, Ronald McDonald House Greater Chattanooga has partnered with the Community Foundation of Greater Chattanooga to award scholarships to exceptional graduating high school seniors throughout Greater Chattanooga and the surrounding counties.


Thanks to the generosity of Ronald McDonald House Greater Chattanooga supporters and their foundations, more than 20 scholarships are awarded each year to deserving students.

  • McDonald’s
  • The Williams Family
  • The Amanda Holekamp Family

It is a privilege to recognize exceptional students through these awards while honoring the families, supporters and partners who have helped make this opportunity possible.
