Meet the Grahams
The Graham Grant was created in 2023 by Nutritional Therapy Association Founder Gray Graham, who realized that alternative funding is imperative to expand our reach and grow the mission of the Nutritional Therapy Association. The Graham Grant serves to make our programming more accessible to a wider audience by offering financial assistance to those who qualify.

How to Qualify
Half Grant Criteria
Half award for students that are above the low-income calculation for a full award, but below 150% of “low-income” as prescribed by the Office of Postsecondary Education:
Take the low-income mark for the appropriate “Size of Family Unit” and multiply it by 1.50 – Ex: Family Unit of 2 is eligible if AGI is between $36,976 - $44,370
Full Grant Criteria
Full award for students who are within 125% of “low-income” as prescribed by the Office of Postsecondary Education:
Take the low-income market for the appropriate “Size of Family Unit” and multiply it by 1.25 – Ex: Family Unit of 2 is eligible if AGI = $36,975 or under
Example for the lower 48 states:
Low-income level for a three person household is established at $37,290 (AGI). We then multiply that by 125% to get to our qualifying level for the full grant.
$37,290 x 125% = $46,612.50
In this example, $46,612.50 (or less) would qualify for the full grant.
$37,290 x 150% = $55,935
$46,612.51 - $55,935 would qualify for the half grant.
How to Apply
***HALF GRANTS STILL AVAILABLE***
Complete the Application Form on this page. You will be automatically sent a docusign to your email to attach your tax Form 1040. W-2s will not be accepted. The form will need to show your name, address, and Adjusted Gross Income (AGI), which is typically located on line-11 of Form 1040. Students may go back as far as two years, so for 2023, we would accept either a 2021 or 2022 Form 1040.
PLEASE NOTE:
- Cannot be an NTP graduate.
- Only submit one Tax Form 1040.
- W-2s will not be accepted.
- Currently must be a US resident.
Applicants will be reviewed on a weekly basis and award offers will expire seven business days following the offer. Each cycle will offer a limited number of full and half awards, which will be dispersed on a first come, first served basis until gone. If all full awards have been dispersed, then any student that qualifies for a full grant will be awarded the half grant. The application period will close upon the commencement of classes, or, once all available grants are awarded and accepted for that recruitment cycle.
