I'm planning to major in business and I'm worried about affording tuition. Does anyone know where I can find scholarships specifically for business majors? I'd appreciate any leads or resources that could help me plan financially.
Absolutely, it's a great idea to start looking for scholarships specific to your intended major. For business majors, there are numerous scholarships out there, each with their own criteria for application. Here are some general steps to find scholarships for business majors:
1. Start by searching the financial aid websites of the schools you're interested in. Schools often have scholarships specifically for students of a certain major, and they provide resources on external scholarships as well.
2. Check with professional business organizations. Groups like the National Business Association, Association of Women in International Trade, and the Public Relations Student Society of America offer scholarships for students pursuing studies in business-related fields.
3. Explore resources like Appily. Appily is a scholarship search platform that allows you to filter scholarships by field of study, among other parameters, helping you find scholarships tailored to business majors.
4. Lastly, definitely check with local community groups or businesses in your area. Sometimes, there are local scholarships offered by business organizations or companies to support students pursuing a business education.
Remember, applying for scholarships is somewhat of a numbers game, so apply to as many as you are eligible for. Many scholarship applications require similar information, so after applying for a few, you'll get the hang of what information you're often asked for, which will speed up the process for each subsequent application. Good luck in your search!
