Scholarships and Grants

Peg Clayton Natural Health and Nutrition Scholarships
(since 2000)

Marguerite �Peg� Clayton co-founded Dr. Clayton�s Herbs and helped establish the Clayton College of Natural Health. Peg encouraged exercise and relaxation, teaching on-site yoga classes for coworkers.

CCNH proudly honors Peg�s lifelong commitment to holistic health by awarding two $3,500 scholarships annually, available to deserving new or currently enrolled students at any degree level.

Nella B. Oppenborn Herbology Scholarship
(since 1997)

�The herbal renaissance is changing the world, as new American herbalists deeply explore the earth�s vast wisdom, reclaiming its bounty for everyone.�

Thus said the late Nella Oppenborn, who designed CCNH�s first herbal studies specialization program. Our Nella B. Oppenborn Memorial Herbology Scholarship offers a $3,500 annual scholarship for a new or currently enrolled herbology student at any level of study.

“Nella encouraged me to look through the eyes of those who had come before and seek to incorporate their knowledge. 'Go beyond,' I can still hear her saying.” — Steve Gibson, N.D.

Sarah Shelton Scholarship
(new for 2004)

Sarah Shelton joined cousins Peg and Lloyd Clayton at CCNH in the early 1980s after retiring from her career in healthcare. CCNH honors Sarah�s lifelong commitment to learning and to the many contributions she made to our school by awarding an annual scholarship. Each year a $3,500 annual award will be made to a new student with a story similar to Sarah�s - someone aged 60 or older whose personal path has led them into natural health.
