Vegetarian Resource Group awards two $5,000 college scholarships
Vegetarian Journal, May-June, 2005
A few of the entrants are activist because they were born into an activist family. Many have high grades and high SAT scores. Quite a few are going into medical and engineering fields, while sizable numbers are musicians or artists. Most are doing some sort of social justice outreach, such as working with the homeless, tutoring kids, or volunteering for other charities. Still, even in 2005, many of these students feel different, challenged, and somewhat ostracized.
Common outreach themes are presentations in classes, writing articles for their school newspapers, starting an animal rights club, and working to improve food in their school cafeterias. Convenience, taste, and ethnic foods generally are very important in exposing their friends to vegetarianism.
