For the sixth consecutive year, the NPRDP (the National Puerto Rican Day Parade) will award 100 scholarships valued at $2,000 each, for a total $200,000, to exceptional students of Puerto Rican descent that are making a difference in their communities. Applicants must be high school seniors or full-time college/university students in their freshman through junior years in college.
​
“Since 2014, we have awarded over $1.2 million through the NPRDP scholarship program, and we are proud and excited to continue supporting students in our community in their pursuit of higher education,” said Louis Maldonado, NPRDP Board Chair. “Recent winners have represented over 20 states and Puerto Rico, and we expect to broaden participation even further in 2022.”
