Liana Paulson of Vineland is one of the recipients of a Dunkin’ Philadelphia Regional Scholarship. Dunkin’ and its greater Philadelphia-area franchises award $100,000 annually to high school and college students in the area. The program helps local students in southeastern Pennsylvania, southern New Jersey, and Kent and New Castle counties in Delaware pursue a part-time or full-time undergraduate degree at the institution of their choice.

Paulson is a recent graduate of Cumberland Christian School, where she was a member of the soccer and basketball teams. In the fall, she will be attending Rowan College of South Jersey Cumberland, where she plans to pursue a degree in Liberal Arts Elementary and Secondary Education.

From over 1,260 applicants, Dunkin’ and Scholarship America selected 20 students to receive a $5,000 academic scholarship to an accredited two or four-year college, university, or vocational-technical school of their choice for fall 2024.

Dunkin’s Philadelphia Regional Scholarship Program was open to current part-time and full-time undergraduate students and high school seniors.

To date, the Dunkin’ Philadelphia Regional Scholarship Program has awarded $800,000 in scholarships to 360 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 Dunkin’ Philadelphia Regional Scholarship Program is part of our ongoing commitment to empowering young adults and giving them an opportunity to achieve their goals in life,” said Jamie Struwe, Dunkin’ senior field marketing manager. “We are proud to continue the tradition of furthering students’ educational goals in our community and help lead them to a bright future.”

The 2024 Dunkin’ Philadelphia Regional Scholarship recipients will be honored at an awards ceremony on July 23 at Lincoln Financial Field in Philadelphia.
