The purpose of the Stephen J. Brady STOP Hunger Scholarships is to recognize and reward students who have made a significant impact in the fight against hunger. Fifty-million people are at risk of hunger, including 17 million children. The Sodexo Foundation works to ensure that every child in the U.S., especially those most at risk, grows up with dependable access to enough nutritious food to enable them to lead a healthy, productive life.

Five scholarship recipients will receive $5,000 for their education as well as a matching grant in their name for the hunger-related charity of their choice. Twenty additional regional honorees will receive $1,000 for their education as well as a matching grant in their name for the hunger-related charity of their choice.

The Stephen J. Brady STOP Hunger Scholarship is named for the Sodexo Foundation's founder and former president, who was an unstoppable champion in the fight to end hunger. Thanks to Steve's efforts, which made these scholarships possible, an emerging generation of leaders will be cultivated in the fight against hunger.
