About MDEF
The Massachusetts Dietitian’s Education Foundation (MDEF) is a nonprofit (501c3) organization founded by the Massachusetts Academy of Nutrition and Dietetics (MAND). Its purpose is to serve as a fundraising and charitable foundation for nutrition in the Commonwealth of Massachusetts with the goal of providing financial support for the education and recognition of dietitians in the form of scholarships and awards. Every year MDEF provides scholarships to outstanding individuals seeking undergraduate degrees, graduate degrees and dietetic internships in the field of nutrition.
Scholarship applications are open for 2022!
To Donate to the Scholarship Fund:
With only a very modest endowment that does not generate sufficient funds to be self-sustaining, we rely on member donations and sponsors to keep the scholarships going. Click Donate below to make your gift to MDEF. |
Volunteers Wanted:
MDEF is seeking volunteers with fundraising experience to help raise funding for scholarships. Please consider donating your time in exchange for flexible hours, nice colleagues and the satisfaction that your efforts are going to a critical purpose. For more information, email Lisa Lombardini MS, RD, LDN at massMDEF@gmail.com. |
Meet Our 2021 MDEF and DEI Scholarship Winners:
Lauren Mahoney
Dietetic Intern at Brigham and Women's
My background in Culinary Arts sparked my interest in the science behind food, which led me to pursue my Bachelor’s in dietetics as well as complete a Master’s degree in Business and Analytics. In the long term I see myself working as a dietitian within companies or schools to help transform the nutritional value of their products or what they are serving.
2022 ANCE will be virtual on Friday, March 25th.
