Denny's Celebrates Scholars with Prestigious Hungry for Education™ Scholarship Awards
Recognizing Excellence in Academic Achievement SPARTANBURG, S.C.,, April 30, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Denny's, (NASDAQ: DENN), America's Diner, proudly celebrates the newest recipients of its prestigious Hungry for Education™ Scholarship Program, awarding $161,000 in scholarships to outstanding students from across the country who are driving change in their communities. For more than thirteen years, Denny's has been committed to supporting multicultural communities through its Hungry for Education™ Scholarship Program. Understanding the critical role of education in fostering personal and community progress, the program rewards deserving students for their written submissions regarding innovative ideas on pressing social topics such as reducing childhood hunger and strengthening community ties. 'Our scholars are visionaries, advocates, and change agents,' said April Kelly-Drummond, VP, Chief Inclusion and Community Engagement Officer at Denny's. 'We are proud to champion these talented young leaders by supporting their educational journey and amplifying their voices. Their ideas inspire us to do more for the communities we serve.' For the 2024-25 academic year, the program distributed scholarships to deserving students who share their visions for how Denny's can further unite and uplift communities. The national winner this year is Jamya Crawford, a Clemson University Health Science student from Moore, South Carolina. "This honor means the world to me because it reflects the power of showing up with heart and purpose," said Crawford. "Denny's has been a beacon of support in my community, and I'm inspired to keep building meaningful connections and creating lasting impact together", Jamya mentioned. 'My parents raised me with the mindset that to be successful, one must be well-rounded in all aspects by dedicating one's time to an array of opportunities. When I first came to college, I believed that I could uphold the same responsibilities and advance my education with harder classes independently.' She struggled with the transition into college, but the resources her school offered helped greatly. 'I believe that Denny's Corporation can bring communities together by providing mental health, time management, and networking classes to high school students. The transition into college affects students' mental health negatively due to them trying to uphold the high standards that are instilled in them. By having these classes, high school students will be more prepared to handle the stress of time management in college', she concluded. Since its launch in 2011, Denny's Hungry for Education™ initiative has awarded more than $2.7 million in scholarships, affirming the company's long-standing commitment to advancing education and social equity.
