The scholarship does not require students to submit grades, essays or test scores, and the funds apply to multiple education paths, including community colleges and trade schools.&nbsp;As a teenage high school student, Lil Nas X worked at a Taco Bell near Atlanta, so the brand is near and dear to his heart.“Ever since I worked there, I've always been amazed at how they look out for their team members and fans,” he said in the release. “I know there's a lot of young people like me out there who are taking non-traditional paths to follow their dreams, so I'm super excited to play a part in making sure more of them know Taco Bell has their back when it comes to achieving those goals.”The application period will close on Jan. 11, 2022, and recipients will be announced in Spring 2022. To raise money for the scholarship fund, the Taco Bell Foundation partners with Taco Bell restaurants to host national fundraisers twice a year. From Nov. 11 – Dec. 25, customers can round up their order total to the nearest dollar to support the Taco Bell Foundation in helping young people nationwide pursue their passions through the Live Más Scholarship.Students can apply here: <a href="https://www.tacobellfoundation.org/live-mas-scholarship/?utm_source=1851franchise.com&utm_medium=article&utm_campaign=lil-nas-x-helps-the-taco-bell-foundation-give-away-7-million-in-scholarships-2717263" target="_blank" rel="nofollow">https://www.tacobellfoundation.org/live-mas-scholarship/</a>Related articles:<ul><li><a href="https://1851franchise.com/megan-thee-franchisee-megan-thee-stallion-signs-on-as-multi-unit-popeyes-franchisee-2716901#trending">Megan Thee Franchisee: Megan Thee Stallion On as Multi-Unit Popeyes Franchisee</a></li><li><a href="https://1851franchise.com/5-celebrities-who-own-franchises-2716349#stories">5 Celebrities Who Own Franchises</a></li></ul>
