Are there scholarships for college students of physical education?

I'm planning to pursue a degree in physical education and am curious about scholarships that might be available. Does anyone know of specific scholarships for students in this field?

Yes, there are several scholarships out there specifically for students pursuing a degree in Physical Education. For instance, the SHAPE America which stands for Society of Health and Physical Educators provides a number of scholarships for undergraduate and graduate Physical Education students.

You may also be eligible for the Ruth Abernathy Presidential Scholarship, which is awarded to three students annually who are majoring in physical education, health education, recreation, or dance, and have high academic achievement.

There is also the Hally Beth Poindexter Young Scholar Award, through the National Association for Sport and Physical Education, which is granted to physical education students at the undergraduate level.

Just remember, when applying for scholarships, you should ensure you meet the eligibility criteria, and look out for deadlines. Application processes can vary—you may need to write essays, provide letters of recommendation, or demonstrate a certain level of academic achievement. And finally, always be on the lookout for new scholarship opportunities—you never know what you might find!

Please be aware though that scholarships can be very competitive so it's always a good idea to apply to as many as possible for which you’re eligible, and also seek out other sources of financial aid such as work-study opportunities, financial aid from your chosen institution, or educational grants. Good luck with your scholarship search and your studies in Physical Education!
