Dunkin’ Donuts franchisees in New Hampshire are now welcoming applications for the 22nd Annual New Hampshire Scholarship Program and will award $30,000 in college scholarships to 12 deserving New Hampshire high school seniors this spring. Since 1995, local Dunkin’ Donuts franchisees have given more than half a million dollars in scholarship grants to talented New Hampshire students who embody the mission to help those that serve others.
“Dunkin’ Donuts franchisees in New Hampshire are thrilled to continue serving our local communities with our annual scholarship program,” said Adam Quinn, a New Hampshire Dunkin’ Donuts franchisee. “We are always impressed by the dedication and accomplishments of the scholarship recipients and look forward to recognizing them as leaders in the community and helping them achieve their goals through education.”
Applications are open now and the deadline to apply is Friday, April 14, 2017 at 5 PM EST. In 2017, 12 scholarships, each in the amount of $2,500, will be awarded to qualified students throughout New Hampshire. Current Dunkin’ Donuts employees are encouraged to apply to the Dunkin’ Donuts New Hampshire Scholarship Program. The scholarship program is open to any qualified high school senior who is a current resident of New Hampshire and enrolling full-time at a post-secondary institution, including four-year, two-year, or community technical college. The New Hampshire Charitable Foundation will review scholarship applications and determine the award recipients. Applicants will also be considered for other scholarships administered by the Foundation.
“We’re grateful for the generous support of the Dunkin’ Donuts New Hampshire franchisees, who continue to support our local students through the New Hampshire Scholarship Program,” says Judy Burrows, Director of Student Aid at the New Hampshire Charitable Foundation. “With the increasing cost of education, we know how important these awards are to New Hampshire students in achieving their academic and career goals and we urge all interested students to take advantage of this opportunity and apply by the April 14 deadline.”
Scholarship recipients will be notified by the end of April. Dunkin’ Donuts will host a special event to honor recipients and their families in Manchester this June.
