INTRODUCTION
Who Should Use This Directory The Foundation Directory of Resources for International Food and Nutrition Dietetics Professionals is designed for use by practitioners, graduates with Baccalaureate (or equivalent), or Graduate degrees in nutrition (biomedical), food, dietetics, public health, agriculture, foodservice management, food science, food science technology, and related areas. Individuals pursuing a professional degree may use this directory, or professionals who are seeking continuing education, training or work experience nationally or internationally. Contact information and general guidelines for numerous organizations that offer financial assistance for studies in the United States of America (USA) and other countries are provided.
How to Use the Directory The Foundation Directory of Resources for International Food and Nutrition Dietetics Professionals was created to simplify the process of seeking financial assistance for international students and professionals by organizing food, nutrition, dietetics and other related resources and contact information in one source. This Directory is divided into six sections. The first section lists those organizations that provide resources to American students and professionals. The second section lists the organizations that provide financial assistance to individuals of any nationality studying or gaining practice experience in the USA, and in other countries. The third section lists resources available to nationals of specific (non-USA) countries for studying in their home country and/or abroad. The fourth section lists other resources that are useful when searching for financial assistance or work experience abroad, such as international education organizations, literature (hardcopy and electronic), internet access to information, and online networking opportunities. The fifth section lists groups associated with the Academy, including Member Interest Groups (MIGs), Dietetic Practice Groups (DPGs), and the Academy’s International Affiliate Organization. The sixth and final section lists international nutrition and dietetic associations as a source of contact for nationals of specific countries. The goal of this project has been to provide information as complete and accurate as possible about the organizations and agencies listed in this Directory. Where applicable, we have provided the address, telephone and/or fax number, and web site of the
3 organizations or agency, (the links of certain websites may require direct placement into the web browser for information retrieval) the contact person, areas of study, eligibility requirements and deadlines.
Please note that The Foundation Directory of Resources for International Food and Nutrition Dietetics Professionals is not an exhaustive listing because the database is very extensive and ever changing. We, therefore, encourage nutrition students and professionals who are seeking financial assistance to explore other directories and other possible avenues to assist with funding opportunities. To conduct a search, award seekers should use a variety of keywords including; ‘nutrition,’ ‘food’ and ‘dietetics.’ Additional resources may be found under ‘agriculture’, ‘agricultural science,’ ‘human’ and ‘health sciences’, ‘family’ and ‘consumer sciences,’ ‘biomedical nutrition,’ ‘public health,’ ‘community nutrition.’ We encourage any and all readers to give us feedback about The Foundation Directory of Resources for International Food and Nutrition Dietetics Professionals. Should, you discover scholarships, fellowships, grants and/or awards that may be suitable for this directory during your research for funding, we would be grateful for your contribution toward our efforts in maintaining the most current information. The quality, effectiveness and resourcefulness of this Directory will be preserved with your help.
The Foundation Directory of Resources for International Food and Nutrition Dietetics Professionals is the property of the Academy of Nutrition and Dietetics Foundation. Its use is encouraged, but only in accordance with published reproduction permission.
