Scholarship Fund
Noodles & Company created the Scholarship Fund awards in 2006 to provide support, inspiration and encouragement for our hard working team members and their families who are committed to furthering their education. It is intended to give back to our community members by relieving some of the financial burdens attached to achieving their dream of a college education. We are proud to award ten exceptional applicants $3,000 each to use towards their educational goals each year.
The 2018/2019 scholarship application is due by October 15, 2018.
