Brady STOP Hunger Scholarship program. The application period closes December 5, 2011. <br /><br />Up to five students will be selected as national winners. Each will receive a $5,000 scholarship award and a matching $5,000 grant in their name for the hunger charity of their choice. In addition, up to 20 students will earn regional recognition, with a $1,000 donation in their name to the hunger charity of their selection. <br /><br />There are 16.2 million children living in food insecure homes in the United States. That is one in five children, said Robert A. Stern, president of the Sodexo Foundation. As a result of job scarcity and an unstable economy, children at risk of hunger are emerging in food insecure homes and neighborhoods where we least expect it. <br /><br />The Stephen J.
