McDonald’s Scholarships

For nearly four decades, McDonald's USA and our Owner/Operators have been all-in on making college dreams come true. We’ve awarded over $38 million into bright futures, helping more than 17,000 students from Asian and Pacific Islander American, Hispanic, and Historically Black college and university backgrounds (HBCUs).

As part of a promise to fuel advocacy, opportunity and investment within the communities we serve, McDonald’s is helping its neighbors bridge the opportunity gap by providing scholarships, enabling equitable access to resources and offering communities a pathway to employment.
