Vegetarian Resource Group College Scholarship

General eligibility criteria for the VRG College Scholarship are as follows:

• Vegetarian Lifestyle: Applicants are typically required to follow a vegetarian lifestyle. This means that they do not consume meat, poultry, fish, or any other products derived from animal slaughter.
• Academic Achievement: The VRG College Scholarship often considers academic performance as a criterion. Applicants may be required to have a strong academic record, including a competitive GPA (grade point average). Some scholarships may also consider standardized test scores such as the SAT or ACT.
• Advocacy and Leadership: The Vegetarian Resource Group values applicants who have demonstrated a commitment to vegetarianism and veganism through advocacy, activism, or leadership. This can include involvement in vegetarian/vegan clubs or organizations, animal rights activism, community service, or other related activities.
• Essay: Applicants are usually required to submit an essay as part of the application process. The essay topic may vary each year and may focus on vegetarianism, veganism, animal rights, environmental sustainability, or related topics. It’s important to carefully follow the essay prompt and submission guidelines provided by the VRG.
• U.S. Citizenship or Legal Residency: Some scholarships may require applicants to be U.S. citizens or legal permanent residents, while others may be open to international students. Specific citizenship or residency requirements may vary, so it’s important to check the eligibility criteria for the specific scholarship cycle.
