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!
This scholarship is available for graduate students studying natural resource management, law or policy. The funds from the award are designed to support a research paper on a related topic, and selection of the award recipient will be based on the proposed research work described in his/her application.
The program offers US$1,500 to each winners who would agree to provide a brief report 6 months after receiving the scholarship and a final report (2-3 sentence summary) that will published on this website. We prioritize to support the high school students and trainees in biomedicine with the following 5 characteristics:
– Dare to challenge status quo
– Devoted to public service
– Deliver outcomes
– Driven to excel
– Diverse background
The program is open to application in the fall of each year unless otherwise noted. Please visit the Apply page to submit your application before Nov. 20 of this year. The advisory committee would review and select winners and is composed of well-regarded scientists and professionals. All candidates would be de-identified during the review process for objective assessments.
The winners/5D scholars of 2021 were announced on Dec. 20, 2021 and include 3 scholars and 2 runners-up.
The program is not limited to seniors students, nor limited to the endorsed students. However, we will de-identify all candidates during review process. This pilot program is currently open to selected high schools so that we collect feedback and improve it.
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. This Actuarial Exam Reimbursement Program opportunity was established in memory of Elizabeth M. (Liz) Mauro to honor her dedication to becoming an actuary following several years in another profession. Our hope is that this reimbursement program, in Liz’s memory, will serve as a reminder of her dedication to helping others achieve their goals.
