Herbalife Nutrition, a premier global nutrition company, in
partnership with the leading nutrition and dietetic professional
organizations, the American Society for Nutrition (ASN) and the
Nutrition Education for the Public (NEP), a dietetic practice group
of the Academy of Nutrition and Dietetics, has awarded its annual
education scholarships to support the research, education and/or
clinical training of promising students with passion for nutrition
and intent of becoming a Registered Dietitian (RD).
“Registered Dietitians are on the front lines of teaching
Americans the principles of healthy eating and how to use nutrition
to achieve health goals and we are proud to support them on their
education journey,” said Dr. Kent Bradley, Chief Health and
Nutrition Officer at Herbalife Nutrition.
Now in its third year, the Herbalife Nutrition scholarship of
$5,000 is awarded by ASN to Registered Dietitians (RD) or those
intending to become an RD, and was awarded this year to M. Alan
Dawson, MS, RD, CSSD, LD, of Florida State University.
ASN is the nation’s leading scientific society devoted to
advancing nutrition research and its clinical applications. Each
year, the ASN Foundation distributes nearly $100,000 in awards,
travel grants and scholarships to students and young investigators
to support their academic endeavors. The ASN Foundation enhances
the Society’s efforts by fostering the development of the next
generation of nutrition scientists and practitioners.
The scholarships awarded through NEP, a dietetic practice group
of the Academy of Nutrition and Dietetics, were three $1,000
scholarships in 2020 and 2021 to support student research and/or
dietetic education training of promising students enrolled in an
accredited dietetic program at the junior/senior or graduate level
of education. The recipients of the NEP scholarship included Kayla
Parsons and Leigh Neptune, both of the University of Maine, while
the third awardee will be named in the fall of 2021.
In addition to the financial support awarded to each scholarship
recipient, they each will receive an all-expense paid trip to
Herbalife Nutrition’s headquarters in Los Angeles, CA at a later
date.
