NP 110 COURSE SCHOLARSHIP

Empowering accessibility in nutritional psychology education.

Submission Period is Closed

ABOUT THE PROGRAM

The Center for Nutritional Psychology (CNP) is a 501(c)(3) non-profit organization that connects you with research, education, and other resources in the field of nutritional psychology.

CNP sponsors three scholarships for NP 110: Introduction to Nutritional Psychology Methods twice a year to support access to nutritional psychology education. Scholarship Applications are accepted during two time periods each year: Dec 1 – Feb 1 and May 1 – July 1.

We understand that the cost of higher and continuing education can be prohibitive. In addressing this barrier, we hope to provide students, professionals, and other interested individuals who cannot access our courses with the opportunity to study nutritional psychology.

By providing this opportunity, we hope to facilitate greater awareness of the diet-mental health relationship and the need for a nutritional component to mental healthcare. CNP strives to provide equitable learning opportunities and promote inclusivity for all drawn to this field.
