Subject Specific Scholarships


Scholarships for college can come from many different places and can be awarded for many different things. Some of the best scholarships out there are ones awarded based on the subject you intend to study, these are known as “Subject Specific Scholarships”.

When you are searching for scholarships be sure to search for scholarships related to your intended major, many people overlook this as an option when searching out different scholarships.

If you’re unsure what you want to study or are open to different subjects, consider choosing a SMET subject (science, math, engineering, and technology). These fields of study tend to offer a ton of Subject Specific Scholarships, especially for women and ethnic minorities since these tend to be male dominated fields.

Scholarships for the SMET fields can be funded by:
Federal government
State government
Colleges and universities
Professional organizations
