10th Annual McDonald’s Educates Scholarship Winners

On May 14th 2013, the McDonald’s Family Restaurants of Greater Washington, D.C. presented the McDonald’s Educates Scholarship to 60 outstanding local students, totaling nearly $105,000.  Eliza Adhikari, Jae Wook Choi, Rafa Chowdhury, Megan Huynh, Shahzeb Khan, GyeongMin Lee, Do Yeon Park, Ana Gloribel Pereira, Yasamin Rahmani, and Khanh Vo were among the recipients.

These students all demonstrated dedication to volunteerism, leadership, academic excellence and character.  This year, students were asked to nominate a current teacher, administrator or counselor at their school who had been instrumental and influential in both their academic and life successes to accompany them at the reception and were also honored with gift as a token of appreciation.

To date, the McDonald’s Family Restaurants of Greater Washington, D.C. has awarded over $750,000 dollars to local students through the annual McDonald’s Educates Scholarship Program.
