The John Lewis Legacy of Courage Scholarship
Endowed by the Chick-fil-A Peach Bowl

The Chick-fil-A Peach Bowl has made a strong commitment to helping Atlanta students further their secondary education. The Bowl’s Endowed Scholarship Program – operating since 2007 – is funded by additional $100,000 gifts to each university participating in the game and through proceeds from the Peach Bowl Challenge charity golf tournament. These donations are used to create endowed scholarship funds that benefit Atlanta students attending college.

During the 2023-24 academic year, $321,562 in scholarship money was provided. The John Lewis Legacy of Courage scholarship has totaled $2.9 million in scholarship money since its creation in 2007 . 

The Scholarship program currently operates at 35 universities with assets totaling $9.3 million.
