The Vegetarian Resource Group (VRG) is about to make 2 graduating high school students very happy. They are offering two $5,000 college scholarships to graduating high school students in the U.S. who have promoted vegetarianism in their schools and/or communities. (They say “vegetarianism” but our guess is, given their strong vegan bent, that they would strongly prefer those who have promoted veganism.) According to VRG, “Applicants will be judged on having shown compassion, courage, and a strong commitment to promoting a peaceful world through a vegetarian diet/lifestyle.” Applicants must be graduating this Spring, and the deadline to apply is February 20 (though they strongly encourage early submission). Gotta love anonymous donors…
