$10,000 Vegetarian Resource Group grant

Each year, the Vegetarian Resource Group gives out three large grants, or college scholarships, to students who have promoted vegetarianism at their school or community. The $10,000 Vegetarian Resource Group Scholarship is one of the few awarded to those who promote vegetarianism. Increasingly, younger people are choosing vegetarianism, and because of that it may help earn them a college scholarship or grant.

The Vegetarian Resource Group is an organization that has been around for decades. The mission of the group is to provide information about vegetarianism and veganism. Due to the generosity of an anonymous donor, they recently increased how much grant money they give out each year. Their grants are open to everyone who is vegetarian, including Native Americans.

A vegetarian, according to the Vegetarian Resource Group, is someone who does not eat meat, fish, or poultry. The person may or may not consume dairy products or eggs. A vegan, they report is, a vegetarian who doesn’t consume any type of animal products, including meat, dairy, eggs, fish, etc. Their grant program is open to Native Americans high school students who hare vegetarian.

Every year, the Vegetarian Resource Group gives out $20,000 in college scholarships, or grants. There is one $10,000 scholarship that is given to one student, and there are two $5,000 scholarships that are awarded to two other students. Three people receive the education grants each year from this nonprofit organization.

Here are some details to keep in mind about the Vegetarian Resource Group Scholarship program:

• The Vegetarian Resource Group education grants are open to U.S. high school graduating students.
• To qualify, you have to be a vegetarian and had to have promoted vegetarianism in your school or your community. There are no specifications on how you had to have promoted vegetarianism at your school or in your community. You could do it through having a vegetarian club at your school, holding vegetarian events, creating and posting vegetarian flyers and posters, etc.
• Entries are only accepted from students who will be graduating in the spring of each year. The deadline to apply each year is in February. The organization encourages students to get their application in early, so they beat the deadline and don’t forget to get it submitted.
• Students who are applying can download the application from online, or they can type up the necessary information on their own. You are not required to use their application form, but you do need to submit the necessary information.
• The applicants are judged based on having shown compassion, and being committed to promoting a peaceful world through living a vegetarian lifestyle, according to the organization.
• The organization may ask the finalists for more info beyond what they have submitted, and the applicants have to agree that the winner’s names will be shared with the media.
• When submitting the application packet, you need to include your full contact info, school information, parents’ information, the name of a high school teacher, and what you did to help promote vegetarianism in your school or community.
• You will need to write an essay to submit with your application. The essay will include information about how you promoted vegetarianism, your future goals, why you should receive the scholarship, why vegetarianism is important to you, what foods you would recommend to a non-vegetarian, and more.
• Applicants also need to provide a copy of their transcripts or report cards, at least three recommendations (including one recommendation from a teacher at your school), and documentation showing that you helped promoted vegetarianism.

Native Americans who are vegetarian or vegan are at an advantage when it comes to applying for college grants and scholarships. There will most likely not be a lot of people applying for the Vegetarian Resource Group Scholarships, so they will have less people to compete with. The grant program provides Native Americans a great way to try and earn college grant money. Native American students who are not yet seniors in high school should consider this grant opportunity and start planning for it. They can take measures ahead of time to begin promoting vegetarianism at their school or in their community, so that they are great candidates for the educational grant.
