As you are aware, the cost of higher education has been skyrocketing for American students and is likely to continue rising. The financial burden this creates is frankly too much to bear, particularly for those students in underserved communities. That’s why we have partnered with Denny’s Hungry for EducationTM (HFE) campaign, a program awarding more than $130,000 in scholarships in 2024, to high school and college students for their innovative and insightful ideas on bringing communities together.
Help us in removing one of the biggest barriers to education and opportunity our kids are facing today.
