Deadline: November 5, 2024
Applications are invited for the Stephen J. Brady Stop Hunger Scholarship 2025. The Sodexo Stop Hunger Foundation is seeking applications for its Stephen J. Brady Stop Hunger Scholarships to recognize and reward students’ great steps to fight hunger in communities across the United States.
The Foundation ensures that every child in the U.S., especially those most at risk, grows up with dependable access to enough nutritious food to enable them to lead a healthy, productive life. As part of its commitment, Sodexo Stop Hunger Foundation wants to engage and reward students who have significantly impacted hunger and are driving awareness and mobilizing youth to be catalysts for innovative models and solutions to eliminate childhood hunger.
Scholarship
- Each student selected as a national Stephen J. Brady Stop Hunger Scholarship Scholar will receive a $10,000 scholarship, as well as a $5,000 grant made in their name to the hunger-related charity of their choice in their local community.
- If the Scholar selected is in school, but is not yet enrolled in an institution of post-secondary education, then instead of a scholarship, a contribution for $10,000 shall be made to a qualified 529 Plan established by an eligible family member of that student for the benefit of that student only.
