Find scholarships to help you graduate with a Bachelor of Science degree.
Funding a Bachelor of Science degree can seem a daunting and overwhelming task, even to the brightest students pursuing B.S. degrees in subjects such as computer science, aerospace, biology or geology. Scholarships offered to students in some of these fields can enable students to apply themselves to their studies without worrying as much about paying their tuition bills.
Computer Science Scholarships
The National Security Agency's Cooperative Education Program offers annual scholarships to undergraduate students studying computer science who have achieved a grade point average of 3.0 or higher.
The AMOCO Foundation offers one-year scholarships in varying amounts to undergraduate juniors and seniors studying computer science who are U.S. citizens or legal permanent residents.
Aerospace Scholarships
The Hughes Aircraft Bachelor of Science Scholarship is offered to students studying aerospace engineering and who are U.S. citizens or legal permanent residents. Undergraduate students should have a minimum grade point average of 3.0 to qualify for this renewable scholarship, which covers all tuition and student fees.
NASA's Undergraduate Student Researchers Program offers scholarships up to $8,000 a year that can be renewed for up to four years. Eligible students are undergraduate freshmen and sophomores, with 32 credit hours or less completed, who are studying aerospace engineering and who have achieved a grade point average of 3.0 or higher.
National Science Bowl Community College Scholarship Program
According to a government website dedicated to explaining the National Science Bowl, "Since 1991, the U.S. Department of Energy's (DOE's) National Science Bowl® has recognized outstanding academic achievement. The National Science Bowl® is a highly visible educational event and academic competition among teams of high school students who attend science seminars and compete in a verbal forum to solve technical problems and answer questions in all branches of science and math." To continue the recognition of high school students competing at both regional and national levels, a scholarship program was established for students competing in the National Science Bowl who wish to pursue Bachelor of Science degrees in fields such as the sciences, engineering, mathematics or teaching. To be eligible to receive the scholarship, students must participate in a National Science Bowl regional competition at least once throughout their high school careers, be a citizen or legal permanent resident of the United States, demonstrate "academic success and integrity throughout their high school career" and be scheduled to graduate high school in the spring of the year that they apply for the scholarship. The scholarship, if awarded, covers tuition and fees for two years up to $2,500 a year, as well as a paid 10-week summer research internship at a Department of Energy National Laboratory. Scholarship recipients must be 18 years of age prior to beginning the internship.
