VEGPRENEUR Members Can Now Apply for a Full Scholarship to the Plant-Based Nutrition Certificate
VEGPRENEUR is excited to announce a new partnership with the T. Colin Campbell Center for Nutrition Studies that gives VEGPRENEUR members access to a full scholarship for the Plant-Based Nutrition Certificate program, a $949 value. Details on how to apply are below.
Chronic disease rates and healthcare costs keep climbing, and consumers have grown skeptical of bold claims and vague wellness promises. They want clarity, they want evidence, and they want to understand what actually works.
For CPG founders, operators, and leaders, this shift brings both a responsibility and an opportunity. The responsibility is to speak accurately about health. The opportunity is to stand apart by grounding your work in credible, science-backed knowledge.
Learn From Leading Voices in Evidence-Based Nutrition
The Plant-Based Nutrition Certificate brings together 25 world-renowned experts who have shaped decades of nutrition and health research. The faculty includes T. Colin Campbell, Michael Greger, Neal Barnard, Caldwell Esselstyn, and Dean Ornish.
The program covers three core areas.
The current state of health and nutrition
How a whole-food, plant-based lifestyle can help prevent, and in some cases reverse, many of the leading causes of death
How to translate nutrition science into practical, real-world change for individuals, communities, and customers
Why This Matters for Consumer Product Founders and Brands
When you’re building a food, beverage, or wellness brand, your credibility matters. Customers, retail partners, investors, and your community increasingly expect you to understand the health context behind the products you’re building.
Completing this certificate signals that you take the science seriously. It gives you the confidence and language to speak about health responsibly, helps you steer clear of misinformation, and strengthens the trust people place in your brand.
For VEGPRENEUR members, this knowledge can become a real competitive advantage in conversations with buyers, media, and consumers.
Full Scholarship for VEGPRENEUR Members
Through this partnership, VEGPRENEUR members can apply for a full scholarship to take the program at no cost. The Center for Nutrition Studies requires a short application, and there is currently no limit on how many VEGPRENEUR members can apply.
