HOW FINANCIAL SUPPORT AND SCHOLARSHIPS ARE AWARDED
The Department of Nutrition & Integrative Physiology at the University of Utah awards scholarships and other forms of financial support (teaching assistantships, graduate assistantships, and other funding types) on a competitive basis. To be considered for financial support:
Incoming students (those in the process of applying) must select "Yes" to the financial support question in the program-specific question section on the DICAS application during the admission application process. Financial support from the NUIP department, CMP program, is based on merit, which means the value, excellence, or superior quality of an individual's academic performance, as determined by a structured process comparing the student's performance against defined standards and, where possible, the performance of other students of the same or similar class.
The selection committee will evaluate merit-based financial support and scholarships during the admissions application review process. Notification of financial support and/or scholarship recipients will be included within acceptance letters. Please note that answering yes to the financial support question will make you eligible to be considered for all NUIP financial support opportunities and scholarships.
Selection Criteria
- Merit-based financial support and scholarships
- A minimum 3.0 GPA
Continuing students (those who are already enrolled in the CMP program) must complete the below application by February 15th to be considered for financial support and/or scholarship. The financial aid selection committee will evaluate all submitted applications with announcements of recipients at the annual NUIP Spring Banquet in April. Please note, each scholarship has special conditions, so we encourage students to carefully read through the descriptions of scholarships to support your personal statement, as these are the exact criteria used for awarding financial support and scholarships.
Selection Criteria
- A student who is involved in activities that advance the mission and goals of the NUIP department and College of Health
- Distinctive strengths (leadership skills, paid or unpaid work, service, teaching, etc.)
- A minimum 3.0 GPA
- A well-written and compelling personal statement showing evidence the student addressed all application criteria
- Demonstrated academic success and potential for professional success
- Demonstration of meeting metrics for the particular financial support fund
- Demonstrated need of financial assistance
