Scholarships offered to vegetarians
Vegetarian teen-agers now have a chance to take a bite out of their college tuition. The Vegetarian Resource Group, a nonprofit group that advocates vegetarianism, has announced a new scholarship program for teens who have promoted meat-free diets in their schools or communities. The group said two $5,000 scholarships will be awarded each year. Applicants will be judged on demonstrated compassion, courage and commitment to promoting a peaceful world through a vegetarian lifestyle and diet.
Applications can be found at the group’s Web site at:
