"Forbidden Foods" Scholarship

Food allergies affect 32 million people in the US, roughly 1 in 10 adults and 1 in 13 children.

While many people manage their food allergies and sensitivities, allergies can be very dangerous and even life-threatening. Each year, 200,000 people in the US need emergency medical care after having allergic reactions to food.

This scholarship seeks to support students who have food allergies or food sensitivities so they can navigate the world of higher education.

Any undergraduate or graduate student who has a food allergy or sensitivity and has non-profit or volunteering experience may apply for this scholarship. 

To apply, tell us how your food allergy or sensitivity diagnosis has impacted your life and career choices and how this scholarship would help you reach your goals.
