FOR THE NATIONAL PUERTO RICAN DAY PARADE SCHOLARSHIP PROGRAM

Every year, the National Puerto Rican Day Parade awards 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.

Due in great part because of the generosity of many companies, organizations and individuals who invest in parade activities and make direct donations to the organization, The NPRDP has awarded over $2M in scholarships to deserving Puerto Rican Students committed to pursuing higher education. To donate and support NPRDP’s initiatives including our scholarship program, click here.
