STOP Hunger Scholarships recognize students who are driving awareness and mobilizing youth to be catalysts for innovative models and solutions to eliminate hunger in America.
All students (elementary through graduate school) enrolled in an accredited educational institution in the United States are eligible to apply. Applicants must have demonstrated ongoing commitment to their community by performing unpaid volunteer services impacting hunger in the United States within the last 12 months.
The scholarship recipients each receive $5,000 for their education as well as a matching grant in their name for the hunger-related charity of their choice. If the student is not yet enrolled in an institution of higher education, in lieu of a scholarship, a contribution in the amount of $5,000 will be made to a qualified 529 Plan established by the student's family.
