McDonald's believes in celebrating achievement. That's why Connecticut and Western Massachusetts McDonald's owner/operators offer a variety of local recognition programs that encourage students to strive for academic, athletic and civic excellence.

Student Awards

McDonald’s has a history of recognizing students for their hard work. McDonald’s has a working relationship with the Connecticut Association of Schools (CAS) and the Connecticut Inter-Scholastic Athletic Conference (CIAC) each year to honor high school Scholar-Athletes and middle school students are recognized with the Scholar-Leaders. In Western Massachusetts, McDonald's recognizes high school athletic and academic achievements with its very own McDonald's McScholar® Athlete Awards.

Ronald McDonald House Charities® (RMHC®) of Connecticut and Western Massachusetts Scholarships

RMHC of Connecticut and Western Massachusetts awards a total of $50,000 to local eligible high school seniors each academic year through its Scholarship Program. Students of all backgrounds are encouraged to apply, with specific funds allocated for eligible Hispanic applicants on behalf of the RMHC/HACER® program.
