While less common than undergraduate scholarships, scholarships for graduate students are available. Graduate students rely heavily on fellowships or assistantships-especially in high-need areas like nursing or teaching-but these arenât available to everyone and donât always cover a graduate studentâs living expenses.
There are many types of scholarships to help you pay for college, and not all are based on academics. For example, you may qualify for a scholarship based on your ethnicity, your gender, or your parents' military background. 1  Other scholarships relate to your hobbies and interests, or your area of study.
