Two Burlington County area students and Dunkin’ employees are recipients of the company’s 15th annual regional scholarship program.
Students were selected from more than 1,260 applicants based on their academic records, leadership and proven commitments to their schools and communities. Dunkin’ and its franchisees in the Philadelphia area will award each student a $5,000 academic scholarship to pursue a full-time undergraduate degree at an accredited two-year or four-year college, university, or vocational-technical school.
