Steinert grad 1 of 20 to win Dunkin’ scholarship

A Hamilton woman is one of 20 students to receive a scholarship from the Philadelphia Regional Scholarship Program, administered by Dunkin’ and its greater Philadelphia-area franchisees, in partnership with Scholarship America.

Ashley Wisser, a recent graduate of Steinert High School, received the $5,000 academic scholarship to an accredited two- or four-year college, university, or vocational-technical school of her choice for fall 2023.

Dunkin’ and Scholarship America selected the 20 students out of 1,730 applicants. The program was open to current part-time and full-time undergraduate students and high school seniors.

Dunkin’ awarded a total of $100,000 to the 20 recipients who were selected based on their academic records, demonstrated leadership skills, and overall commitment to their schools and local communities. To date, the Dunkin’ Philadelphia Regional Scholarship Program has awarded $700,000 in scholarships to 340 outstanding high school seniors and college students.

The program was founded in 2009 by Dunkin’s Philadelphia-area franchisees to ease the financial burden of college for students throughout the region.

The 2023 Dunkin’ Regional Scholarship recipients will be honored at an awards ceremony from 1–3 p.m. on Saturday, Aug. 5 at Cherry Street Pier in Philadelphia.
