The 50 Best Scholarships For Nutrition Degrees

Without nutrition, we couldn’t really do much of anything. Nutrition has been at the heart of the creation of civilization, of wars, migrations, and the pinnacle of human achievement. It’s also an increasingly scientific field, with strong links to the notion that food is medicine and that our gut microflora actually functions like a “second brain” that needs to be nurtured through nutrition.

If any of this appeals to you, nutrition degrees can be a great way to get into a meaningful and interesting career. Nutrition degrees tend to be available at the bachelor’s through doctoral levels, and we’ve included scholarships at each of these degree levels below!
