Department of Nutrition Health and Nutrition Diversity Scholars program

HANDS (Health and Nutrition Diversity Scholars) is a new scholarship program to increase the diversity of students in the field of nutrition. HANDS Scholars will be awarded a $6000 scholarship annually for up to three years. HANDS Scholars will participate in a 1-credit Scholars Seminar each semester, and have access to department and campus-based supports including tutoring, mentorship and career counseling. HANDS Scholars will also participate in nutrition conferences and other special programs.

The Department of Nutrition is seeking to identify qualified and enthusiastic students who will receive support and funding through the HANDS Scholarship program beginning Fall Semester, 2007.

 This project is based upon work supported by the Cooperative State Research, Education and Extension Service, U.S. Department of Agruculture, under Agreement No. 2006-38413-16595.
