# Stephen J. Brady Stop Hunger Scholarships The Stephen J. Brady Stop Hunger Scholarships, awarded by the Sodexo Stop Hunger Foundation, recognize students who are making a real impact against hunger in their communities. The annual application period runs from September 5 to November 5, making it one of the few major service awards with an early-fall window. ## What You'll Do - Document your ongoing hunger-relief work — food drives, meal programs, food-recovery projects, advocacy, or an organization you founded or lead - Show creativity, leadership, and measurable impact in fighting food insecurity - Apply online during the fall window with a description of your volunteer efforts ## Who Should Apply Students ages 5-25 (including all high school grades) who have demonstrated commitment to fighting hunger in the United States. High schoolers with sustained, hands-on anti-hunger work — not one-time volunteering — are the strongest candidates. ## Outcomes National scholars receive a $10,000 academic scholarship plus a $5,000 grant directed to the hunger-relief charity of their choice, doubling the award's impact. National winners are also invited to the Sodexo Charity Classic to connect with industry leaders who support the Stop Hunger mission — recognition that pairs college funding with real capacity-building for your cause.
