FIREBAUGH, Calif., Sept. 24, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Wonderful® Pistachios is proud to announce the launch of the Josh Allen Scholarship in partnership with Central Valley native, pistachio farmer, and star Buffalo Bills quarterback Josh Allen. Wonderful Pistachios is one of the many iconic brands under The Wonderful Company’s portfolio of healthy products, including FIJI Water, POM Wonderful, Wonderful Halos, Wonderful Seedless Lemons, Teleflora, and JUSTIN, Landmark, and Lewis Cellars wines.
The program will support first-generation youth pursuing higher education in Allen’s hometown of Firebaugh, California. It is part of an expansion of the Wonderful Community Scholarship program, made possible by The Wonderful Company, its co-owners, Lynda and Stewart Resnick, and their foundation. The announcement follows Allen’s recent partnership with Wonderful® Pistachios as the brand’s new spokesman and star of a fall commercial campaign.

The program will provide support to first-generation students graduating from high school and pursuing higher education. Students accepted into the program will receive support with college applications and up to $12,000 over four years in college.
