    Frequently asked questions about finance scholarships

    Does finance count as STEM?

    In general, finance has not counted as a STEM degree. However, in some spheres, that definition is changing. For example, at MIT, the administration recently classified finance majors as STEM majors. This may be part of a larger shift in classification for finance. What does this mean for finance majors? Well, one big change is that it may qualify you for STEM scholarships. STEM scholarships are one of the most plentiful types of scholarships, so this is potentially a big opportunity.

    How can I pay for a finance degree?

    There are many ways out there to pay for a finance. It’s a good idea to take full advantage of every possible opportunity. That includes filling out the FAFSA, seeing if you qualify for the Pell Grant, applying for outside scholarships, and applying for school-specific scholarships. Many students also have to take out loans. Another great strategy for finding scholarships is looking for local scholarships.
