Applicants are notified of the outcome of scholarship selection by January 31, 2024.

Notification of status will be sent to all applicants by email to the email address designated by the applicant.

Those to be awarded the scholarship will be preselected* to the NewYork-Presbyterian Hospital Dietetic Internship Program and will receive the scholarship upon matriculation into the NewYork-Presbyterian Hospital Dietetic Internship Program.

*Preselect:

The NewYork-Presbyterian Hospital Dietetic Internship Program participates in the ACEND-approved preselect option for dietetic interns.

If the student is NOT awarded the scholarship, the student will remain an eligible candidate for the NewYork-Presbyterian Hospital Dietetic Internship Program through the computer matching process.

  • The NYPH Dietetic Internship Scholarship application form changes annually; applicants must use the 2024-2025 application form.
