Academy of Nutrition and Dietetics Foundation Scholarship Program

Scholarship Description

The Academy of Nutrition and Dietetics Foundation’s number of scholarships vary annually.

Applicants must be enrolled in one of the following programs for a minimum of four months during the academic year:

• The junior or senior year of a baccalaureate or coordinated program in dietetics, or;
• The second year of study in a dietetic technician program, a dietetic internship program, or a graduate program.

If your application is pending for a program, such as a dietetic internship, you will not qualify for a scholarship until you receive confirmation of acceptance. Some scholarships require membership in a specific dietetic practice group, and/or residency in a specific state. Academy membership is required for all but two Foundation scholarships. Although Academy membership is not required to apply, it is highly recommended that you renew your membership before starting a scholarship application.
