Due to the generosity of anonymous donors, The Vegetarian Resource Group each year will award $40,000 in college scholarship money to graduating U.S. high school students who have promoted vegetarianism in their schools and/or communities. Vegetarians do not eat meat, fish, or fowl. Vegans are vegetarians who do not use other animal products such as dairy or eggs.

One award of $10,000 and four awards of $5,000 will be given. Entries may only be sent by students graduating from high school in SPRING 2025

NOTE: Thank you to more generous donors, in 2025 we will be awarding $40,000 in college scholarships.

Deadline is FEBRUARY 20, 2025.

We will accept applications postmarked on or before FEBRUARY 20, 2025. Early submission is encouraged. We had 280 applications in 2019.

Applicants will be judged on having shown compassion, courage, and a strong commitment to promoting a peaceful world through a vegan vegetarian diet/lifestyle. Payment will be made to the student's college (U.S. based only). Winners of the scholarships give permission to release their names to the media. Applications and essays become property of The Vegetarian Resource Group. We may ask finalists for more information. Scholarship winners are contacted by e-mail or telephone. Please look at your e-mail.
