The American Dietetic Association, through its many association groups, offers a variety of scholarships and educational stipends to individuals pursuing undergraduate and advanced degrees in dietetics or food and nutrition related areas. General scholarship and educational stipend information from the American Dietetic Association Foundation, the dietetic practice groups and affiliate (state) and district dietetic associations can be accessed from the respective group’s information listed on this site.

Scholarships Offered Through the American Dietetic Association Foundation.
Scholarships, including funds set up by many of the affiliate (state) dietetic associations and dietetic practice groups, are available to encourage eligible students and members to enroll in dietetics programs. All ADAF scholarships require ADA membership; some may require specific dietetic practice group membership and residency in a specific state.

While all students are eligible for most ADAF scholarships, some are specified for dietetics students who are members of underrepresented groups.

Eligibility and Application Information
Scholarships awarded by the ADAF are generally for ADA members enrolled in 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. One application form is used for all ADAF scholarships. The number of scholarships available and their dollar amounts vary from year to year. For the 2005-2006 academic year, 186 scholarships were awarded in amounts ranging from $500 to $5,000. The majority of the scholarships awarded are for $1,000. The September Journal of the American Dietetic Association includes detailed information about ADAF scholarships and general qualifications.

The ADAF scholarship form is also available by contacting the Education Team by phone at 800/877-1600, ext. 5400 or e-mail at education@eatright.org. Applications are available each year between mid-September and mid-January. The annual deadline for submitting applications is in mid-February.
