career potential and proven financial need.

Nutrition and Dietetics, state level dietetic associations and
local level distric dietetic associations for students who will be
embarking on a dietetic internship. Prospective interns should pursue
these applications in the fall of his/her senior year as they are
awarded in the spring and then applied toward tuition the following
fall.
3. Morrison Diet SODA Scholarship: Up to $6,000 is awarded to
recipients who attend Morrision Internships - and UVA is a Morrison
