In the view of No Lost Food, caring for the environment is one of the most urgent challenges of our time.
No Lost Food is deeply committed to supporting students from low-income families who aspire to pursue higher education and contribute to safeguarding our planet. This cause holds special significance for our scholarship team, and through this initiative, we hope to empower future leaders who are passionate about environmental protection.
This scholarship aims to support the next generation of environmental leaders so they can complete the training they need to make an impact on the environment.
Any low-income high school senior who has been accepted into an accredited four-year college or university as a full-time student may apply for this scholarship opportunity if they have at least a 3.0 GPA, community service experience, and a passion for the environment.
To apply, tell us what you believe are the primary causes of food waste in your community and what steps you would take to address them. Additionally, upload a photo of yourself. You may also submit two letters of recommendation, but this is optional.
