Eleanor Miltimore Wolff became a committed vegan late in life. Once she
\nlearned and understood that dietary choices affected not only one’s
\npersonal health, but also the health of the planet and the well being of
\nthe animals, there was no looking back. Leather shoes and purses, along
\nwith non-vegan food products went out the door. Her children and
\ngrandchildren were showered with vegan reading material. When she
\nexercised she would sport a T-shirt proclaiming: “I think, therefore I
\nam — a vegetarian.” Eleanor was a military censor during World War II,
\nbut there was no censoring her commitment to a plant based diet and
\nlifestyle.<\/p>\n
In her memory, the Eleanor Wolff scholarship is a $2,500 paid internship
\nat The Vegetarian Resource Group (VRG) office in Baltimore (plus $1,000
\ntoward housing) for a student who:<\/p>\n
-Wants to be an effective change agent on behalf of veganism
\n-Is motivated to use knowledge gained from the internship to make a
\nsignificant impact within his\/her world
\n-Could not participate in this development effort without a little
\nfinancial assistance<\/p>\n

\nThe Vegetarian Resource Group also has unpaid internships available.<\/p>\n
