Meet the Grahams

Established in 2023 by Joy and Gray Graham, the Graham Grant was born from a shared belief in the power of nutritional education and a desire to make it more accessible. Recognizing that financial support is essential to expanding the reach and mission of the Nutritional Therapy Association, Joy and Gray created the grant to help eliminate economic barriers for aspiring students. The Graham Grant opens the door to our transformative programs for a broader, more diverse community—empowering individuals and impacting lives around the world.

What can The Graham Grant do for me?

The Graham Family and the NTA are honored to offer a limited number of grants for qualifying applicants to the NTP program. These grants reduce retail tuition by 50%, bringing the remaining balance to $3,600—which can be paid in full or through a 12 Month NTA Payment Plan.

Grants are available in limited supply for each enrollment cycle, so we encourage prospective students to explore this opportunity as early as possible.

Your Form 1040 must clearly show your name, address, and Adjusted Gross Income (AGI) (typically found on Line 11). You may submit a 2022, 2023, or 2024 tax return.

Please Note:

  • Only one Form 1040 may be submitted.
  • W-2s will not be accepted.

FAQs

Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet, consectetur adipiscing elit. Suspendisse varius enim in eros elementum tristique.

I am an active student in an NTP class, can I receive a grant retroactively

No, the Graham Grant is only available to prospective students who have not yet started the program. However, if you're newly enrolled in an upcoming cycle, you may still be eligible to apply.

How does the NTA determine if I qualify for a grant?

The Graham Grant Committee reviews all applications after the deadline using the objective criteria outlined on this page. If awarded, you’ll have one week to accept or decline the grant.

Can I submit my W-2 instead of a tax return?

No. W-2s are not sufficient. The document must show your adjusted gross income, which is typically found on line 11 of your 1040.

Can I apply more than once?

You may apply once per enrollment cycle.

Can I apply if I am not a U.S. resident?

Currently, the Graham Grant is being offered to US residents only.

What happens if I drop out of the program and don’t defer to another session?

The grant is a one-time award. If you drop from the program without deferring your enrollment, you will not be eligible to receive the grant again.

When will I find out if I’ve been awarded the Graham Grant?

You will be notified within two weeks of applying. An NTA Admissions Representative will follow up with the outcome.

Can I combine the Graham Grant with other promotions or bundles?

No. The Graham Grant cannot be combined with other promotions, discounts, or bundled offers.
