The Rob Portinga Memorial Scholarship Fund

The Scholarship Application Process is closed for 2025.

The OAC is committed to making the Your Weight Matters National Convention accessible to anyone with a desire to learn more about their weight and health. That’s why we’re proud to offer the Rob Portinga Memorial Scholarship Fund, an initiative designed to help individuals attend the in-person Convention by awarding grants that fund or offset associated expenses.

We believe the high-quality education provided at this Convention can be life-changing—and that the connections made within our Community can be just as impactful. While attending is an invaluable investment in your health, we understand that the cost can be a barrier. The Rob Portinga Memorial Scholarship Fund helps remove that barrier, giving anyone the ability to gain the information and support they need for their weight and health journey.

Any questions about the program may be directed to the OAC by calling (800) 717-3117 or emailing us here.
