We're excited to partner with the University of Utah to help build a more inclusive community and empower others to make a positive difference through their own success and accomplishments.\"\nThe Eccles School is an enthusiastic partner with Nature's Sunshine and is excited to offer this scholarship to students. The Eccles School will manage the scholarship application and award process.
