The Academy of Nutrition and Dietetics Foundation is currently accepting scholarship applications for the 2020-2021 academic year. Scholarships are available for students at all levels of study, including undergraduate, masters, and doctoral programs, dietetic internships, and NDTR programs and range from $500 to $10,000 each. Although the Foundation utilizes a singular, centralized application for our scholarships, the Dietetics in Health Care Communities Dietetic Practice Group Board Scholarship Fund supports Academy Members who have an interest in practicing as a consultant dietitian in a health care facility

In order to meet the needs of students and educators, the deadline to apply for scholarships has been extended to June 15, 2020, at 11:59 p.m. (Central Time). The total amount and number of Foundation scholarships awarded each year is determined by fundraising efforts and investment returns on scholarship funds. Last year, the Academy of Nutrition and Dietetics Foundation awarded $511,750 to 239 deserving students.

The online scholarship application is available within the Foundation’s application portal. Due to the Foundation electing to extend the scholarship deadline and the large volume of applications received, students will not receive their scholarship notifications until after the 2020-2021 academic year has begun.

Any questions may be directed to Elisha Reichling, MS, RDN, LDN, Foundation Program Coordinator, at ereichling@eatright.org.

We look forward to receiving your application!
