SCHOLARSHIPS!!!

Starting Fall 2010, students can begin submitting applications for the Spring 2011 $40,000 transfer scholarship. In addition, Project La Cena is also offering 6 $1,000 transfer scholarships, and 16 $750 scholarships. Even better, you can apply for all of these scholarships using the same application. I highly encourage EVERYONE , who is interested in obtaining a degree in Nutrition, to apply for these scholarships as we have plenty to go around. I also encourage students to start the application process now, so that there is time for the project manager to go over the scholarship packet with you. Feel free to contact me if you have any questions regarding our scholarships or application process. For the scholarship website, click HERE.

We only ask that the Moments you create include some form of physical activity (Move), healthy eating (Fuel), or personal and environmental health (Honor). Once your Moments are created, you can then invite your friends, family and colleagues to participate and show the country how our individual Moments of health help Make the Movement!

Forget your lunch?

If you are at work and have forgotten your lunch, don't use that as an opportunity to go out to lunch or grab fast food. Instead, visit your local cafeteria or grocery store and make a healthier food choice!
