Great Scholarship for Vegetarians
Don’t you love animals so much you can not even bring yourself to eat them? Have you been across the front lines, fighting for animal rights? Would you protest animal testing and do not use goods that are tested on animals? Well, there is a generous scholarship in existence available for you in the event you meet these as well as other criteria.
The Vegetarian Resource Group (VRG) is a nonprofit that spends its time educating people on vegetarianism and related health issues. The VRG survives mainly on donations and educates schools, physicians and dieticians while also developing healthy meal plans for children. VRG is a widely respected resource from the vegetarian community because of their great efforts targeted at advancing vegetarianism.
Because of some donations, the VRG is providing two $5000 scholarships to graduating students. To qualify, students must have promoted vegetarianism in their schools and/or communities. Vegetarians are defined as people who will not eat meat, fish or fowl. Entries need to be postmarked by February 20, 2012, and this scholarship is for young students graduating in 2012. Payment of the scholarship goes directly to the winner’s school, where there is going to be media attention surrounding this scholarship. Applicants can easily download a PDF through the VRG website to start their application.
You can find three major parts to the application. Part one is simply general information along with details about ‘references’ from others within the vegetarian movement. Your second part of the application is an essay that covers sixteen major points in regards to the applicant as well as their philosophies of life and vegetarianism. Academics will even play a role, and applicants are asked to add the past couple of years of report cards using application for the third portion. The last portion looks to be the ‘proof’ section, so together with the transcript or report cards, they must attach letters of recommendation and also any proof of vegetarianism promoting activities.
Who would have thought you can get this kind of large scholarship determined by the foods you eat – or don’t eat, for that matter. Vegetarianism has been a growing trend amongst young adults in the United States and abroad in recent years. Because of this trend organizations like VRG are taking the initiative to help educate the youth on the practice of vegetarianism. Scholarships are just one way that VRG gives to the community.
