The University of the Free State (UFS) has announced the establishment of the Dr. Maye Musk Scholarship to support deserving Masters students in Nutrition and Dietetics.
The grant provides two master’s students with annual financial support so that they can study full-time for two years.
The department focuses strongly on the nutrition of mother and child.
“Studies in this area have the potential to revolutionise our understanding of how dietary factors influence maternal and child health, leading to more effective interventions and policies. By advancing research in this vital area, the grant will help address critical public health challenges, ultimately contributing to healthier communities and a better quality of life for mothers and children worldwide,” said Prof Corinna Walsh from the Department of Nutrition and Dietetics.
Musk, a dietitian, received an honorary doctorate from the UFS in April 2023. While studying at university, she learned about chronic diseases related to nutrition.
