IINNTTRROODDUUCCTTIIOONN Who Should Use This Directory
The ADAF Directory of Resources for International Food, Nutrition, and Dietetic Professionals is
designed for use by practitioners, graduates with Baccalaureate (or equivalent), or Graduate
degrees in nutrition (biomedical), food, dietetics, public health, agriculture, foodservice
management, food science, food science technology, and related areas. Individuals pursuing
a professional degree may use this directory, or professionals who are seeking continuing
education, training or work experience nationally or internationally. Contact information and
general guidelines for numerous organizations that offer financial assistance for studies in
the United States and other countries is provided.
How to Use the Directory
The ADAF Directory of Resources for International Food, Nutrition, and Dietetic Professionals was
created to simplify the process of seeking financial assistance for international students and
professionals by organizing food, nutrition, dietetics and other related resources and contact
information in one source. This Directory is divided into six sections. The first section lists
those organizations that provide resources to American students and professionals. The
second section lists the organizations that provide financial assistance to individuals of any
nationality studying or gaining practice experience in the US, and in other countries. The
third section lists resources available to nationals of specific (non-US) countries for studying
in their home country and/or abroad. The fourth section lists other resources that are useful
when searching for financial assistance or work experience abroad, such as international
education organizations, literature, and websites. The fifth section lists networking groups
associated with the ADA and the sixth section lists international nutrition and dietetic
associations as a source of contact for nationals of specific countries. The goal of this project
has been to provide information as complete and accurate as possible about the
organizations and agencies listed in this Directory. Where applicable, we have provided the
address, telephone and/or fax number, and website of the organizations or agency, the
contact person, areas of study, the number and size of awards, eligibility requirements and
deadlines.

IINNTTRROODDUUCCTTIIOONN
Please note that The ADAF Directory of Resources for International Food, Nutrition, and Dietetic
Professionals is not an exhaustive listing because the database is very extensive and ever
changing. We, therefore, encourage nutrition students and professionals who are seeking
financial assistance to explore other directories and other possible avenues to assist with
funding opportunities. To conduct a search a variety of keywords would be helpful they
include; ‘nutrition,’ ‘food’ and ‘dietetics.’ Additional resources may be found under
‘agriculture’, ‘agricultural science,’ ‘human’ and ‘health sciences’, ‘family’ and ‘consumer
sciences,’ ‘biomedical nutrition,’ ‘public health,’ ‘community nutrition.’ We encourage any
and all readers to give us feedback about the ADAF Directory of Resources for International Food,
Nutrition, and Dietetic Professionals. Should, you discover scholarships, fellowships, grants
and/or awards that may be suitable for this directory during your research for funding, we
would be grateful for your contribution toward our efforts in maintaining the most current
information. The quality, effectiveness and resourcefulness of this Directory will be
preserved with your help.
