There are scholarships available for almost every college pursuit, including philosophy.
Paying for college can be a daunting task. Many students never apply for colleges they assume are outside of their family or personal budgets. There is an abundance of scholarship opportunities if you make a diligent, persistent and determined effort to apply for as many as you can each year of your school career. Many schools in the U.S. offer scholarships based on qualifications ranging from ethnicity to professional association memberships to physical disabilities.
