Financial Aid and Scholarships

Due to the time intensive nature of the graduate year of study, students in the Clinical Nutrition & Dietetics concentration are not generally eligible for teaching and research assistantships. However, students in all years of the program are strongly encouraged to apply for grant, scholarship, and other financial aid opportunities, particularly those through the University of Tennessee, our college, the Academy of Nutrition and Dietetics Foundation, state and local affiliates such as the Tennessee Academy of Nutrition and Dietetics and Knoxville Academy of Nutrition and Dietetics, and other organizations. Students enrolled in the program are eligible for financial aid and loan deferments.
