STUART, Fla. – A team member at a Stuart, Fla. franchised Taco Bell receive $25,000 last week from the company’s charitable foundation in order to pursue higher education.
 
Heidy Lopez has been a team member at the Coastal QSR owned Taco Bell on S. Kanner Highway for nearly a year.
 
“We are so proud of Heidy, who is exceptionally gifted in school and a valuable part of our day-to-day operations, said Arturo Macias, Market Coach for the Coastal QSR Taco Bell in Stuart. “We know that Heidy will make the most of this opportunity and that she will make us and the rest of the community proud.”
 
As part of a nationwide scholarship program, the Taco Bell Foundation gave her the $25,000 last Tuesday during a ceremony at the Stuart Taco Bell location. Nationally, Taco Bell awarded $10 million in scholarships for employees nationwide who are pursuing higher education, preparing for the workforce, or using their passion to ignite change in their communities.
 
“Taco Bell’s commitment to its employees is second to none,” Macias said. “The Liv Más Scholarship program is just one of the many ways the company gives back to its hard-working and valued employees.”
 
Live Más scholarships have or will be awarded to 982 Taco Bell team members and young consumers around the country, with $2.5 million of that being awarded to 250 team members. The scholarships range from $5,000-$25,000 per recipient.
 
For some recipients, the scholarship can be renewed in years to come.
 
In 2018, the Taco Bell Foundation introduced the Live Más Scholarship Renewal Program to continue supporting previous recipients as they continue to pursue higher education.
