Application: CARISA WINTERS ENDOWED SERVICE AWARD Application

The CARISA WINTERS ENDOWED SERVICE AWARD is an endowed scholarship with a value of $2,000 available to a sophomore or junior undergraduate student who has demonstrated, and  plans to continue to demonstrate, a strong commitment to service,  positively contributing to the student’s community.  The award is designed to support a student with an interest in, and pursuit of, serving individuals, communities, and the nation. 

The CARISA WINTERS ENDOWED SERVICE AWARD is given in memory of Carisa Winters, a former OSU student committed to serving others.

$5,000 Scholarship Opportunity

Hi Joyce,

I’m Daniel Feldman, founder of Kids Feeding Kids and a freshman at George Washington University. One of the reasons I’m able to attend this great school is the $5,000 STOP Hunger Scholarship I was awarded last year in recognition of our work in New Jersey fighting childhood hunger, one bake sale at a time. Check out my blog posting about the changing face of hunger.

Applications for this year’s Scholarships are now open and five more students will be awarded $5,000 to put towards college. So if you’re doing something great in your community to fight hunger, check out SodexoFoundation.org for all the details. You’ve got until Feb. 26 to apply for a STOP Hunger Scholarship – so get going!

The best part of getting a scholarship (aside from the obvious) is that your local charity will also get a grant to help even more people.

Good Luck!
Daniel

PS – So I’ve become a video star! See my interview on local TV news and my YouTube post. Next stop, Hollywood!
