"Receiving the GDF scholarship made a meaningful difference in my journey. It allowed me to complete my Dietetic Internship in just nine months while continuing to meet my financial obligations. Without this support, balancing both would have been significantly more difficult. The scholarship not only helped relieve financial stress but also empowered me to fully focus on my education and professional growth. I’m incredibly grateful to the Foundation for investing in my future and the future of dietetics. Upon completion of my Dietetic Internship in March of 2025 I have secured a job as a clinical dietitian in Monroe, Ga!"

"I am incredibly grateful to the Georgia Dietetics Foundation for awarding me this generous scholarship. Your support has been instrumental in helping me pursue my goal of becoming a registered dietitian and establishing myself as an expert in autoimmune nutrition, the focus of my capstone project. Thanks to this scholarship, I was able to apply and be accepted to several conferences, including the Rheumatologic Disease Conference in Barcelona, Spain, where I will be presenting this June. This opportunity has eased the financial strain of graduate school and allowed me to pursue enriching extracurricular experiences that are already advancing my career."
