I'm really interested in studying kinesiology in college. Does anyone know of any scholarships for students who plan to major in kinesiology? I'm hoping to find some financial support specifically for my area of interest.
There are absolutely scholarships out there designed specifically for students looking to major in areas such as kinesiology or other health and fitness-related fields. Scholarship committees often specially appreciate students who can make a strong case of their passion for their field, as shown through their past experiences, future goals, and overall dedication.
One example is the ACSM Foundation Scholarship offered by the American College of Sports Medicine. They provide several scholarships for undergraduate, master’s, and doctoral students in various fields related to sports medicine and exercise science.
Another notable scholarship comes from the American Kinesiology Association. They offer scholarships for both undergraduate and graduate students pursuing degrees in kinesiology.
These are just a few examples. A more comprehensive search based on your academic achievements, future goals, extracurricular activities, and other individual factors could reveal even more relevant opportunities. Keep in mind that your own high school, future college, local community organizations, or related professional organizations might have additional scholarships available, so be sure to consider these potential sources as well!
