Sodexo Foundation Accepting Applications for STOP Hunger Scholarships
Deadline: February 26, 2010

The Sodexo Foundation, the philanthropic arm of Sodexo, Inc., has opened the application period for its national STOP Hunger Scholarship program. The program supports the education of young people who are working to end hunger in communities across the United States and brings attention to the innovative and effective solutions that they are implementing toward ending hunger in their lifetime.

Up to five students selected as national winners will each receive a $5,000 scholarship award and a matching $5,000 grant in their name for the hunger-related charity of their choice. In addition, up to twenty regional winners will receive a $1,000 grant in their name for the hunger-related charity of their choice.

To be eligible, students must be enrolled in an accredited education institution (kindergarten through graduate school) in the United States and be able to demonstrate an ongoing commitment to hunger-relief activities in their community.
