In association with Scholarship America, Dunkin' announced $125,000 in scholarships that will go to 50 students from Virginia, West Virginia, Maryland and Washington, D.C.. The money will be divided into academic scholarships of $2,500 to attend a accredited two- or four-year college, university, or technical and vocational school of their choice in the fall of 2023.

Recipients of the program, which is intended for current part-time and full-time college students, and high school seniors, will be selected based on their academic record, demonstrated leadership skills, and overall commitment to their school and the local community.
