The Academy of Nutrition and Dietetics Foundation is accepting scholarship applications for the 2022-2023 academic year within its electronic application portal.
Students at all levels of study are eligible to apply, including those accepted to and enrolled in dietetic technician, undergraduate, graduate, and doctoral programs, and dietetic internships.
Eligible applicants only need to complete one application to be considered for all Foundation scholarships being awarded, including two Advancing Diversity in Dietetics Scholarships ($25,000) to support the educational advancement of aspiring RDNs of diverse backgrounds and cultures and other scholarships ranging from $500 to $10,000 each.
The Foundation recognizes that many dietetic students, interns, and educators continue to be impacted by closures and staff shortages. Understanding these challenges, the Foundation has extended its scholarship application deadline to 10:00 am CT on Tuesday, April 26, 2022. We hope the flexibility this extra week of accommodation provides helps alleviate any stress impacted individuals may be experiencing while applying for Foundation scholarships.
