We are proud to officially launch a fundraising campaign to establish the HOD Leadership Scholarship through the Academy Foundation. The academic scholarship will support students who have demonstrated strong leadership potential.
Our goal is to raise $25,000 or more to bring this scholarship to life and thanks to Academy President Elect Tammy Randall’s generosity, all gifts will be matched dollar-for-dollar up to $5,000, doubling the impact of your support.
The goal is simple but powerful: 100% participation from current delegates. Every gift matters. Every contribution helps build this scholarship. And every donor sends a clear message about the House’s commitment to cultivating future leaders.
This is more than a scholarship; it is a statement of who we are and what we value.
Leadership in nutrition and dietetics is cultivated, supported, and strengthened over time. Yet for many emerging leaders, the path forward is limited not by passion or potential, but by access and opportunity.
It is an opportunity to make a meaningful, lasting difference by investing in those who will lead, innovate, and move our profession forward.
