Receiving the first-ever Kathy Taylor Scholarship means so much to me because Kathy supported one of my first research projects during my Grady Food as Medicine (FAM) rotation. That experience helped grow my interest in community nutrition and research. Receiving a scholarship in her memory as I finish my master’s program makes it even more meaningful to me

This past May, I graduated from the University of Georgia with a degree in dietetics and am continuing my education at UGA as I pursue my Master’s in Nutritional Sciences. While completing my master’s degree online, I am also completing my dietetic internship at Emory University. Nutrition has always been important to me because I have seen firsthand the impact it can have on health, and I aspire to become a provider who helps patients recognize the role nutrition can play in their own health. 

Ellen Jurgens Scholarship

Receiving the Kathy Taylor Scholarship means so much to me because it is both an incredible honor and a reminder that the work I’ve put into my education and future career matters.  As a graduate student in the Georgia State’s Nutrition CP, this scholarship will help support me as I continue working toward becoming an RD and pursuing my passion for helping others build a health relationship with food and their bodies.

I’m incredibly grateful for the support and for the opportunity to continue growing as a future nutrition professional.

Receiving the Kathy Taylor Scholarship is such an honor, and I’m so grateful! This award has motivated me even more to stay committed to the dietetics field. I hope to honor it by continuing to work hard and pursue my goals.
