$70,000.
7 years.
One piece to every
qualified applicant.
The question that has stopped more aspiring nutrition coaches than any certification requirement, market condition, or cash flow problem combined: who am I to coach anyone? If that question has stopped you, the 7 Years Scholarship is for you.
Dr. Marc Morris
PhD Human Nutrition
01 · The Reason
Seven years, 500 coaches, $70,000.
In Fall 2019 I ran the first cohort of what became the Nutrition Coaching Academy. 20 students in the room.
Seven years later, 500 plus coaches have graduated. 2,000 plus clients have been served personally. 26,000 plus weekly check-ins run across the coaching network every single week.
To mark year seven, I am allocating a $70,000 scholarship pool. The math is simple. $70,000 is $10,000 per year of NCA. Every qualified applicant walks away with a scholarship allocation calibrated to their situation.
Not one grand prize. Not a lottery. One piece to every qualified applicant.
The size of each allocation is walked through live on a 1 on 1 call with me or a member of my team. That is deliberate. The call is where the fit gets confirmed and the allocation gets explained in the context of your goals.

02 · What You Get
Everyone leaves with something.
Three things come out of this scholarship. One of them is yours just for applying.
01
The Pool
$70,000 in NCA scholarship allocations.
Allocated across every qualified applicant. The size of each allocation is calibrated to the applicant’s situation.
A full-time personal trainer with clients already asking for nutrition help gets a different allocation than a career-switcher. Both get a real piece.
02
The Call
A 1 on 1 call to walk through your allocation live.
Within 24 hours of the Monday Nov 2 announcement, Dr. Marc or a member of the NCA team reaches out to every qualified applicant with a time to jump on a 1 on 1 call.
On the call: the allocation size, what NCA will cover, what your next 90 days look like, and whether this is the right next step.
03
The Freebie
The Full NCA Coaching System.
Delivered to every single applicant the moment the form is submitted. Not just the qualified ones. Not just the ones who get on a call. Everyone.
The same system my 500 plus NCA graduates use. Free, no strings, no price ask.
03 · The NCA Method
Three steps. 500+ coaches. $3K to $5K months.
The Free Nutrition Report Method
A done-for-you assessment that gets new coaches coaching real people before they ever pitch. Analyze a 3 to 5 day food log, walk the prospect through the gaps, close at roughly 80 percent once they’re tracking.
The Hybrid Check-In System
Run 20 plus nutrition clients in 5 to 7 hours a week with no Zoom calls. Templates, feedback loops, adjustment protocols. The check-in IS the coaching.
The 5-Client Formula
Client acquisition without becoming a social media influencer. Scrappy First 5, Awareness Ladder, Content Engine. The anti-hype path to filling a roster.
The First Client Guarantee
First paying client in 90 days.
Or I keep working with you for free until you do.
Not a refund. Not a credit. Live coaching, free, until the first client lands. That is the floor under every scholarship allocation in this pool.
04 · Who This Is For
If any of these are you, apply.
You already have a basic nutrition certification (PN1, NASM CNC, ISSA) or a personal transformation story. You know enough. The gap is a repeatable system.
You’re a personal trainer, CrossFit coach, or group fitness instructor who’s been coaching nutrition informally for free. People already come to you for advice. You just haven’t figured out how to charge for it.
You’ve said “my marketing is hope and pray” to yourself more than once. You post something, you disappear for a week, you post again. Nothing compounds.
You’ve been quietly asking yourself “who am I to coach anyone” while watching peers who had less knowledge build real coaching businesses. You know the imposter feeling is the real wall. You’re ready to put it down.
Not for: people chasing hype, quick fixes, or gimmicks. People unwilling to put themselves out there or commit to consistent action.
05 · About Dr. Marc
PhD. 500+ graduates. Team Canada powerlifter.
I was on the path to becoming a full-time university professor. I taught two full university-level nutrition courses during my PhD in 2012 and 2014.
I hated the bureaucracy and the idea of working for someone else. I love making money and helping people. So I built that life instead through nutrition coaching.
I built a multi-six-figure coaching business while completing my doctorate. In 2019 I formalized the model into what became the Nutrition Coaching Academy. 500 plus coaches have come through since.
I competed and coached for Team Canada Powerlifting. I am the author of From Passion to Profit. I live in Saskatoon, Saskatchewan.

07 · FAQ
Common questions.
What exactly is a scholarship allocation? +
A real piece of the $70,000 scholarship pool, calibrated to your situation. Not a public number. The size of your allocation is walked through live on a 1 on 1 call with Dr. Marc or a member of the NCA team. That is how we match the piece to the person.
Is the scholarship a discount off NCA? +
No. The allocation is paid access to NCA, funded out of the $70,000 pool we committed to the 7-year anniversary. The pool is real and we are not marking down NCA. The reason we structured it this way is to make sure every qualified applicant gets a real piece, not just a lottery winner.
Who qualifies? +
New and aspiring nutrition coaches with a basic cert (PN1, NASM CNC, ISSA) or a personal transformation story. Also personal trainers, CrossFit coaches, and group fitness instructors who want to add nutrition coaching. If your situation doesn’t fit NCA, Dr. Marc tells you that on the call. No one gets strung along.
What is the First Client Guarantee? +
If you come through NCA and do not get your first paying nutrition client within 90 days, Dr. Marc keeps working with you for free until you do. Not a refund. Not a credit. Live coaching, free, until the first client lands. It is the floor under every scholarship allocation.
How much time per week does NCA take? +
2 to 5 hours a week for most students. The curriculum is self-guided modules plus 3 weekly live seminars. The program is designed for people who are still working a full-time job or coaching clients in person on the gym floor.
What do I get just for applying? +
The Full NCA Coaching System, delivered to your inbox the moment you submit the form. The same system my 500 plus graduates use. Yours whether or not we end up on a call together.

“I had the passion, but I didn’t think I could actually do this. Once I got into NCA and had the support and structure, everything clicked.”
