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 http://www.eatright.org/CADE/content.aspx?id=7934 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 date. While all students are eligible for most ADAF scholarships, some are specified for dietetics students who are members of underrepresented groups. Eligibility 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. The number of scholarships available and their dollar amounts vary from year to year. For the 2010-2011 academic year, 139 scholarships were awarded in amounts ranging from $500 to $3,000.
