Dunkin’ Awards Scholarships To College-Bound Students

Broadneck High School graduate Clementine McLemore and Severna Park High School graduate James Henson III were two winners in this year’s Dunkin’ Regional Scholarship Program, which awarded $100,000 in scholarships to students throughout Maryland, Washington, D.C. and Virginia.

Students were selected from more than 1,000 applicants based on their academic record, demonstrated leadership, and proven commitment to their school and their local community. Dunkin’ awarded each recipient with a $2,500 scholarship to pursue an undergraduate degree at an accredited two- or four-year college, university or vocational-technical school of their choice in the fall.

Recipients were honored at an awards ceremony July 24 at the Hornor Maritime Center in Annapolis.
