Sodexo Foundation Announces Open Application Period for Stephen J. Brady STOP Hunger Scholarships

The Sodexo Foundation, which works to ensure that every child in the United States grows up with dependable access to enough nutritious food to fuel a healthy and productive life, is inviting applications for its Stephen J. Brady STOP Hunger Scholarship program. The national program honors the efforts of students — from kindergarten to graduate school — who are working to end hunger in the United States.

The program honors students working to build awareness and mobilize youth as catalysts for innovative solutions to ending hunger in U.S. communities in their lifetime.

To be eligible, students must be enrolled in an accredited education institution in the United States and be able to demonstrate an ongoing commitment to hunger-alleviation activities in their community.

Up to five students will be selected as national winners, with each receiving a $5,000 scholarship and a $5,000 grant for their anti-hunger charity of choice. In addition, scholarship recipients and two family members will receive an all-expenses-paid trip to Washington, D.C., for the awards ceremony in June. The Sodexo Foundation also will recognize twenty regional honorees with a $1,000 donation for their preferred hunger charity.

For complete program guidelines and to submit an application, visit the Sodexo Foundation Web site.
