Miranda Kerr is adding yet another byline to her already impressive resume. The Integrative Institute of Nutrition (IIN) has officially awarded the model her own wellness and nutrition scholarship: The Miranda Kerr IIN Scholarship, a course which qualifies wellness-enthusiasts to join the industry Miranda has been involved in since launching her globally successful skin care company.
After becoming a certified Integrative Nutrition Health Coach herself in 2010, Miranda is now helping to pass the baton of knowledge on. “I feel like creating the scholarship program is such a wonderful way to share with those who may not necessarily have been able to afford it otherwise,” she told Well + Good.
So, what exactly do you get? Well, for three lucky applicants the scholarship will cover the course’s full tuition, while a further 50 applicants will receive 40 per cent off their tuition fees.
Who is a good candidate for The Miranda Kerr IIN Scholarship?
According to IIN, “The Miranda Kerr Scholarship is seeking people with an interest in healing themselves and bettering the wellness of others, has an appetite for learning, and a drive to make a difference.”
Reflecting on her experience, Miranda said “[it] was just a really fun course to do because it really takes a unique approach to health and wellness. It explains that all of [health] is interconnected, a 360 degree view of looking after yourself emotionally, physically and spiritually. It helps you find out what works for you as an individual because we are so different.”
When do applications open?
Great question; applications are open now until the 15th of April, with winners to be announced on the 20th.
How do you apply?
IIN are requesting a two minute video on who you are and why you deserve the scholarship. How creative can you get in 120 seconds?

What do you think of this scholarship? Are you interested in applying?
Not interested, it seems a bit vague – ‘wellness and nutrition’, If I was going to study it would be something more specific. I guess if you were interested in finding out more it you could click on the link.
Especially when you can study Food and Nutrition as a BSc from reputable unis!
Not something I would be interested in applying for.
Don’t think it would hold much weight when applying for jobs!
Exactly!
No. Would not even look at it, even if it was given for free.
Not my cup of herbal tea or green smoothie but each to their own
Agree.
Not for me
Tough crowd, going by some of the previous comments, lol. Another celebrity ‘product ‘, I’m sure Miranda will have plenty of applicants for her course because it’s Miranda
I’ve done plenty of these health and wellness courses. Nowadays I have specific areas of interest wrt to health and this is not it. Nothing to do with who is behind it.
It sounds like a fun course for a young person to enjoy and perhaps lead on to a good vocation
Hmmm no, will not be taking health and nutrition advice from Miranda Kerr, as gorgeous as she is!
This! Agree wholeheartedly!
Not for me, but it does sound interesting.
Good luck to those who enter.
Interesting and would be excellent for the right person.
Not for me but good luck to those who enter.
I’ve never heard of the IIN, so I don’t know how credible they are.
This! I’d rather apply for a scholarship from a reputable institution that has robust scientific research backing the courses!
I didn’t see this until too late, not that I would have applied. it sounds a bit wishy washy but still quite interesting.
It does sound very wishy washy!
Not interested!
I know there’s a lot of criticism for this scholarship but I’m glad to see she’s at least trying to help people
I could totally be a wellness and health coach, but not sure that they want an old bag like me in the program, I would be more interested in using nutrition to manage cholesterol and diabetes, and obesity, more of the basic everyday stuff that ordinary people could apply.
It is a pity that we all change a bit as we get older. Yes manage cholesterol plus bone that ache etc
Sounds interesting but not sure its weight in the real world
at least she is giving someone an opportunity with a scholarship, 120 secs is not enough
Glad that she’s giving back after all her successes. Still love her dimples and wish I had them.
Her brand not listed on BH any more.
Wow there is going to a very happy student out there. Plus a few more with a big savings on their fees.
I won’t be applying
I’ve just read this and it’s all over red rover – congrats to those who won!!
…because I was too late to read this article. 🙁
Not sure on this one, although I did study a certificate in food coaching, and that has helped immensely. It seems like a quick application process though.
It sounds a bit nebulous to be honest.
Awesome initiative from her
Looks like a fun course!
Hmm I wonder what this is like…
