I'm interested in pursuing a degree in exercise science and was wondering about scholarship opportunities specific to this field. Any advice on where to look for scholarships for students in this major?
Sure, there are a number of scholarships out there aimed at supporting students pursuing degrees in exercise science, kinesiology, and other related fields. Here are a few examples:
1. The American Kinesiology Association Undergraduate Scholarship is awarded to students studying kinesiology or exercise science who have demonstrated academic and leadership excellence.
2. The American College of Sports Medicine has several graduate and undergraduate-level scholarships and awards for students interested in sports medicine and exercise science.
3. The National Strength Conditioning Association Foundation offers scholarships for students pursuing degrees in fields related to strength and conditioning, which could be relevant depending on your exact focus within exercise science.
Typically, these kinds of scholarships look for students with strong GPAs, leadership qualities and a demonstrated commitment to the field. Make sure you pay attention to application deadlines and always provide the requested documents on time to give yourself the best chance at receiving the scholarship.
In addition to these scholarships, you should also refer to Appily where you can find additional scholarships based on your intended major, interests, and background. Additionally, check on your college's specific website, as many institutions offer departmental scholarships for exercise science students.
It's always a good idea to apply to as many scholarships as you're eligible for - every dollar helps when it comes to paying for college. Good luck!
