Due to the generosity of an anonymous donor, The Vegetarian Resource Group each year will award $20,000 in college scholarship money to graduating U.S. high school students who have promoted veganism/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 two awards of $5,000 will be given. Entries may only be sent by students graduating from high school in spring 2018. Deadline is February 20, 2018. We will accept applications postmarked on or before February 20, 2018. Early submission is encouraged.

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.

My name is Santino Panico and I am the producer, writer, and director of “From The Ground Up,” a feature documentary film about plant-based athletes. “From the Ground Up” is a film that offers a tangible solution to the average person confronting major world issues including animal ethics, health crises, and environmental degradation. This film is an independent project in its purest form and that spirit permeates throughout. I am proud of the finished project and believe it can impact far and wide. Below is the website so you can view the trailer.
