Biology Scholarships And University Funding
By Veronica Krully
Although they may all be called biology majors, these students will take varied career paths. Biology teachers may treat the sick, as doctors or veterinarians. They might be a teacher or wildlife scientists. But regardless of specialty, they all could face large student loans after college.
To pursue their chosen careers, biology majors often need more than an undergraduate degree. As you begin to plan for college be sure to set aside some time to look at your options for biology scholarships.
Which biology scholarships are available to you may depend on your specific area of study. Some are given out simply by need, others by merit. Many biology scholarships are awarded in the form of grants for research. These may be general research grants, or for study in a particular field, part of the country or time of year. For example, a school or association may offer a student money to study plant life in the Southeast in the summer.
Colleges and universities routinely award biology scholarships and grants in their honor of former professors or leaders in a field of study. These awards are specific to each college so check with the school to see what is offered and for which you are eligible.
