On Wednesday, August 5th, Dunkin’, in partnership with Scholarship America, will host a special recognition ceremony at Lincoln Financial Field to honor 20 greater Philadelphia-area high school seniors and college students, each awarded a $5,000 academic scholarship. The celebration will take place in Lincoln Financial Field’s FanDuel Lounge and will include food, drinks, giveaways, a stadium tour, photo opportunities, and a special gift and certificate for each recipient, courtesy of the Dunkin’ of Philadelphia local franchisees.
These students are part of Dunkin’s 17th Annual Philadelphia Regional Scholarship Program, which awarded a total of $100,000 in scholarships to 20 students across Southeastern Pennsylvania, Southern New Jersey, and Kent and New Castle counties in Delaware. Selected from a pool of over 2,300 applicants, the 20 Philadelphia recipients will use their scholarships to attend an accredited two or four-year college, university, or vocational-technical school beginning this fall.
Established by local franchisees in 2009, the program was open to current undergraduate students and high school seniors. Recipients were selected based on academic excellence, leadership, and dedication to their schools and communities.
Since its inception, Dunkin’s Annual Philadelphia Regional Scholarship Program has granted $1,000,000 in scholarships to 400 students across the region, helping ease the financial burden associated with pursuing higher education.
