Options for Financial Aid

Student interns may apply for private student loans.

Prospective students should contact the University's Financial Aid Office at 775-784-4666 or 
Email: finaid@unr.edu for all financial aid information, including the amount of collegiate loan certification.

Student Interns are encouraged to apply for scholarships from the Academy of Nutrition and Dietetics and the University of Nevada, Reno College of Agriculture, Biotechnology and Natural Resources.  

Assistantships for Graduate Program

The Department of Nutrition awards both teaching and research assistantships on a competitive basis.  If you are awarded an assistantship to help defray the cost of your education, please note that you must register for at least six graduate-level credits each semester (excluding summer).  The Graduate School requires all graduate students to take a minimum of 6 credits.  Failing to maintain this enrollment or earning less than a 3.0 GPA will jeopardize this financial assistance.   

The Graduate Dean's approval, with a note of explanation from the student's major advisor, is required to register for more than 12 credits in a semester.  For additional details regarding assistantships, please see Grad Assistantship Handbook.
