The Rob Portinga Memorial Scholarship Fund: Breaking Barriers to Access

The Rob Portinga Memorial Scholarship Fund helps individuals attend the Your Weight Matters National Convention by providing financial assistance to those who may not otherwise have the opportunity. We know that cost can be a barrier, but we believe the education and support at the National Convention can be transformative. That’s why we’re proud to offer this scholarship, which helps individuals attend the in-person event by covering or offsetting expenses.

For Yolanda, attending the National Convention was a life-changing experience. As a scholarship recipient, she found support, education and a sense of community that continues to shape her journey. Thanks to the generosity of our donors, she was able to connect with others who truly understand, gain valuable information to support her health and be part of something meaningful.

Watch Yolonda’s story and see the impact of this scholarship in action! Scholarship applications to attend are OPEN NOW through April 15! 

Want to help someone else attend? Donate to the Scholarship Fund and make this experience possible for others!

Thank You to Our Convention Sponsors
