Dunkin’ Donuts Scholarship Program Celebrates 20th year with $120,000 in Awards for Local Students

Bristol County, MA (June 30, 2015) – Rehoboth resident Brandon Tran, Attleboro residents Sean Gibney, Sarah Nordberg, and Benjamin Wagner; North Attleboro residents Kira Chandran, Kathryn Labelle, and Sakshi Wadhwa; and Seekonk residents Jennifer Nickson, Emma Clerx, Neil Joyce, and Matthew Salit were each awarded a $1,000 scholarship from the Dunkin’ Donuts franchisees of Rhode Island and Bristol County, Massachusetts recently, as part of the 20th Annual Dunkin’ Donuts Scholarship program.

Over the course of the last two decades, Dunkin’ Donuts franchisees have provided more than $2 million in tuition assistance grants through this annual program. This year, in addition to awarding 100 college-bound high school seniors in Rhode Island and Bristol County, Massachusetts with $1,000 scholarships, Dunkin’ Donuts surprised one additional recipient, Yara Almeida of Fall River, MA, with a $20,000 scholarship to be used for college tuition. Scholarship recipient selection was based on excellence in academics, leadership qualities and a student’s community involvement.

“We are so proud to have reached this amazing milestone with the Dunkin’ Donuts Scholarship,” said Joe Prazeres, and Charlie Coelho each a Dunkin’ Donuts franchisee. “Since the start of this program, we have had the opportunity to make achieving a college education just a little more attainable for thousands of local students and their families, and we look forward to continuing that mission for years to come.”
