We applaud your efforts to accomplish your educational goals, and appreciate your sharing your plans with us.
We, too, value the importance of education, and have a long-standing commitment to its support. You may be interested to know that local Chapters of Ronald McDonald House Charities (RMHC), with support from RMHC Global, McDonald's Corporation and McDonald's restaurants, offer scholarships to students from communities who face limited access to educational and career opportunities. These scholarships are part of the RMHC and McDonald's ongoing commitment to education.
RMHC began its support of scholarship programs in 1985, by committing $50,000 toward the first scholarships awarded through the Hispanic American Commitment to Education Resources (HACER) program. In 2001, the RMHC/ASIA (Asian Students Increasing Achievement) and RMHC African American Future Achievers Scholarships began. To date, RMHC has awarded more than $19 million to help high school seniors attend college.
RMHC is now broadening the scope of its national scholarship program. Beginning in Fall 2005, students of all backgrounds are eligible to apply for the RMHC National Scholarship Program.
For more information and applications, please visit McDonald's web site at www.rmhc.com. Also, because some McDonald's franchise owners support other scholarship programs in their communities, you may want to contact your local McDonald's to see if such programs are available in your area.
Again, thank you for contacting McDonald's...we wish you good luck with your future endeavors.
