Scholarships for Dietitians and Dietitians in Training

Two $250 Scholarships Available for Those With Demonstrated Financial Need

In honor of the significant contributions made by dietitians in sharing the work of mindfulness and mindful eating, the UCSD Center for Mindfulness is pleased to offer two $250 scholarships to attend the Mindful Eating, Conscious Living 5-Day Professional Training on September 15, 2013. The scholarships are available to dietitians and dietitians-in-training who need financial assistance in order to attend. Applicants for the scholarships are asked to register for the training (the $100 initial deposit WILL be refundable for scholarship applicants who do not receive an award) and submit a 1-2 page essay addressing the following questions:

What is your clinical background and experience, (including any training or experience with the practice of mindfulness and mindful eating)?

Why do you wish to attend this training, and what are the barriers to your attending?

How do you imagine implementing or integrating this training into your work and/or life?

The deadline for submission of essays is July 1, 2013 and notification of award will be made on July 15, 2013.

Submit essays to the UC San Diego Center for Mindfulness at mindfulness@ucsd.edu.

All remaining balances must be paid in full approximately 30 days prior to the start of the training (August 15, 2013) or your registration will be cancelled for non-payment and you will not be permitted to attend.

your reasons for attending this training
the setting in which you will be teaching mindful eating skills, and any experience you already have facilitating such skills

A refund (minus your $100 non-refundable deposit) will be made for cancellations submitted in writing on or before August 15, 2013. No refunds will be allowed after this date.

In the unlikely event that the course is cancelled, UC San Diego Continuing Medical Education is responsible only for a full refund of the registration fee and not for transportation, hotel accommodations or any miscellaneous expenses.
