This program is offering a $1,250 scholarship to 20 students from a list of HBCU's. Unfortunately, we don't have this list but Neil Foote would have more information.

The Hungry for Education scholarship officially went online on September 1, 2016 and ends December 1, 2016. Students must have a cumulative GPA of, at least, 2.5.

In 2013, Denny's established the Hungry for Education program and has granted more than $250,000 in total to students in elementary through college.

As for the essay, you are required to submit a 200-word essay describing "your most memorable community service or activity in the past year to combat hunger in your community."
