When watching “The Big Bang Theory,” do you understand everything Sheldon Cooper and Leonard Hofstadter talk about? If so, perhaps you have a future in science. Much like the popular theoretical and experimental physicists portrayed on TV, real life scientists can vary just as much as their fields of study. Students who plan to study biology, chemistry, physics, anatomy, or environmental sciences can pursue fields in research, teaching, experiments, and more! The one thing all science majors do have in common is that they’ll need to pay for college. With a growing need, along with a high level of academic coursework, there are several organizations, schools, and science scholarships offered for those pursuing a future in science. You won’t need a microscope to find them, either. Take our Scholarship Match Quiz to get personalized results for you. We’ve listed scholarships for science majors right here; so search and apply today!
Climate change is a sensitive topic. For some, it’s some distant thing, and for some, it’s not a thing at all. And yet scientists report that global temperatures grow and summers get hotter with each year.
A1 SolarStore team believes that the problem of climate change exists and if there is a solution, renewable energy is at least a part of it. Therefore the keys to the future of humankind lie in the hands of engineers. To increase awareness and keep the problem in the spotlight, we launch a scholarship to help applicants learn more about renewable energy and ways to use it against climate change.
GeoScienceWorld is pleased to announce the launch of the GeoScienceWorld Diversity and Representation Award, a new annual scholarship program for graduate students in the geosciences. The awardee will receive $5000 USD and have their winning essay published in GSW’s OA journal, Lithosphere. The goal of this initiative is to lower barriers to participation for graduate students from historically marginalized communities (racial and ethnic backgrounds, gender identities, sexual orientations, and/or disabilities) in the Earth Sciences, Planetary, or Earth Science-adjacent degree programs.
NOGLSTP Out to Innovate™ Scholarship for LGBTQ+ Students in STEM is for LGBTQ+ undergraduate and graduate students with a declared major in engineering or physics.
The Actuary – A Career Change: Elizabeth M. Mauro Reimbursement Program recognizes the limited resources available to career changers aspiring to transition into the actuarial profession.
