LMUF offers up to $10,000 in partial scholarship funds which means depending on your previous degrees, professional & work experience the LMUF partial scholarship with applicable tuition credits typically reduces your certificate or degree program tuition by up to 50% (with the remaining tuition to be covered by the student).

The scholarship can be applied for and accessed by qualifying healthcare providers for NBHWC Certificate, Masters and Ph.D. Doctorate degree programs focused on Lifestyle Medicine and Health Coaching.

• Licensed or certified health care provider (3+ years of experience) or starting a new career (with previous 3+ years of care related experience)
• 25-65 age at the time of application
• Desire to be a leader in Lifestyle Medicine and Health Coaching

Lifestyle Medicine has the potential to stop and reverse the majority of chronic, non-communicable diseases. The facts are clear.
But how can we as a society provide options in healthcare and train health professionals to actually become experts and authorities in Lifestyle Medicine and integrate their skills into a variety of healthcare environments?

We believe that every doctor, nurse, psychologist, and allied healthcare provider needs to be trained in Lifestyle Medicine, the root-causes of symptoms, and how to address them.

Supporting health care professionals to earn degrees and become leaders in Lifestyle Medicine is not only a worthy cause but absolutely needed to shift our current "disease management" model of healthcare towards prevention, healthy and conscious living.

Doctoral students don’t resemble the demographics of most countries at large. Black Americans, Latinos, and Native Americans together make up about 30% of the U.S. population but  ONLY 15% of U.S. doctorates.

Women are holding over 76% of all health care jobs. About 1 million professionally active physicians are currently practicing in the U.S., 359,409 of whom are female. This translates to a gender ratio of 1.8 male physicians to 1 female physician.

Women are greatly underrepresented in graduate STEM programs.

A 2014 study found fewer than half of Black and Latino doctoral students in the behavioral and social sciences earned a doctoral degree within seven years. More than a third left their programs without finishing.
