Happy to announce the 2025 cohort of Parle Endeavors Scholarship recipients. We received over 200 applications from students in high schools all over New York State who are interested in careers in media, journalism, business or technology. These recent high school graduates are all attending colleges and universities this fall to pursue those passions. While we unfortunately can only provide scholarships for just 4 students, these inspiring stories and individuals are deserving of this and more. We wish them well on their journeys and hope to stay connected with them over these next few years, not only through this financial award, but through mentorship, potential internship opportunities and more.
Congratulations to these scholars.
