The Eleanor Wolff Scholarship is a $2,500 paid internship at the VRG office in Baltimore for a student who is motivated to use the knowledge and skills they gain from the internship to impact and make effective change on behalf of vegetarianism.<\/i><\/p>\n<p>Eleanor Miltimore Wolff became a committed vegan late in life. Once she learned and understood that dietary choices affected not only one&#8217;s personal health, but also the health of the planet and the well being of the animals, there was no looking back. Leather shoes and purses, along with non-vegan food products went out the door. Her children and grandchildren were showered with vegan reading material.  When she exercised she would sport a T-shirt proclaiming: &#8220;I think, therefore I am &#8212; a vegetarian&#8221;.  Eleanor was a military censor during World War II, but there was no censoring her commitment to a plant based diet and lifestyle.<\/p>\n<p>In her memory, the Eleanor Wolff Scholarship is a $2,500 paid internship at the VRG office in Baltimore (plus $1,000 toward housing) for a student who:<\/p>\n<ol>\n<li>Wants to be an effective change agent on behalf of vegetarianism<\/li>\n<li>Is motivated to use knowledge gained from the internship to make a significant impact within his\/her world<\/li>\n<li>Could not participate in this development effort without a little financial assistance<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<p>VRG also offers unpaid internships.<\/p>\n<p>If you would like to apply for a VRG internship, please send a resume, writing sample, and cover letter detailing your interests, skills, goals, and vegetarian knowledge to:<\/p>\n<blockquote><p>The Vegetarian Resource Group<br \/>\nP.O.
