(Washington, D.C.) – National LGBT Chamber of Commerce (NGLCC) is partnering with Denny’s, Inc., as part of the 2024/25 Hungry for EducationTM (HFE) scholarship program, a major initiative to help bring communities together and promote education. Now open for applications, the Denny’s HFE program will award more than $130,000 in scholarships to deserving high school and college students throughout the United States and Puerto Rico, and we’re proud to be a partner this year.
“NGLCC is so pleased to partner with Denny’s to make a difference in communities across the country. Together we will help put the ideas of young LGBTQ+ entrepreneurs into action,” said NGLCC Co-Founder & President Justin Nelson. “A vital part of our mission is to cultivate the next generation of LGBTQ+ business leaders in our community who will create lasting change across the nation.”
NGLCC will select this year’s winners and administer the scholarships on behalf of the organization and Denny’s. Qualified students are invited to apply by visiting the HFE scholarship site at https://www.dennys.com/NGLCC, where they can begin the application process. High school and college students will be asked to submit an essay on “How Denny’s can help bring communities together.”
The deadline for applying is December 9, 2024.
“Our partnership with NGLCC has been tremendously rewarding,” said April Kelly-Drummond, Vice President of Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion at Denny’s, Inc. “This Hungry for EducationTM program fulfills both our and NGLCC’s missions to invest in education and the community.”
Upon review of the winning applicants’ essays, Denny’s will select ideas from the pool of scholarship winners and work with the students to put the essay plans into action to make a difference in local communities.
