I'm really interested in studying sports management in college. I'm a junior now and looking for scholarships related to this field. Where should I start my search, and are there specific organizations that might offer these scholarships?
Absolutely! Funding your college education and reducing student debt is a great goal. Here are a few steps you can follow:
First, you should always check within your own college or university. Your school's financial aid office is an excellent resource for local and school-specific scholarships. They might also be able to provide you with a list of previous sports management studies scholarships that students have received in the past.
Second, consider reaching out to the academic department or faculty members within your sports management program. They may be aware of scholarships specific to your field of study.
There are organizations that provide scholarships for sports management majors and other related fields such as the Joan E. Barr Memorial Scholarship, the Ewigleben, Robert, and Esther Scholarship, and the C. Peter Yost Memorial Scholarship.
Don't forget about local and regional sports clubs or associations. These can include initiatives allied with local professional sports teams or leagues that promote education in sports management.
Lastly, take advantage of search tools online. Note that as of 2022 Cappex has changed its name to Appily. On Appily, you can filter your scholarship search by your intended major. This can help you locate scholarships specific to sports management.
Getting scholarships can depend on many variables so apply to as many as possible. Remember, even smaller scholarships add up. Good luck with your search!
