Business School Scholarship

• Minority students attending business school can expect already-high tuition to increase between 4 and 7 percent each year. Thankfully, there are scholarship programs to help minority men and women pay for business school. One such program is the Robert Toigo Foundation MBA Fellowship. Administered by the Robert Toigo Foundation, the program gives recipients tuition assistance and career guidance. In addition to MBA students, the scholarship is also available to those pursuing a joint JD/MBA degree, a master's in real estate and a master's in finance.
  
  

Law School Scholarship

• According to a 2011 article from the Career Education Center at Georgetown University, a legal degree can cost upwards of $150,000 and over 80 percent of law school students borrow money to pay for their education-related costs. To help students in need, organizations like the Federal Circuit Bar Association or FCBA, provide scholarship opportunities. The FCBA has given out almost $300,000 in scholarships since 2001. The Howard T. Markey Scholarship, for instance, is available to students attending an accredited law school. Applicants must have an interest in the legal fields that are reviewed by the United States Court of Appeals for the Federal Circuit. These include, international trade law, government contract law, patent law and trademark law.
  
  

Medical School Scholarship

• In 2010 medical students graduated with an average debt of $157,944, according to the American Medical Association, or AMA. In an effort to offset these high costs and limit how many potential doctors shy away from medical school, the AMA created the Physicians of Tomorrow Scholarship program. It gives $10,000 to anywhere between eight and 12 candidates ever year, as of 2010. To be eligible, applicants must be third-year medical school students in financial need that display academic excellence. Students that plan to pursue a career in medical journalism are especially encouraged to apply.
  
  

Generic-Degree Scholarship

• There are many scholarships that are offered to postgraduate students regardless of the type of degree they are pursuing. The Beinecke Scholarship, for instance, supports 20 graduating college students with money for tuition. Each selected candidate is one in financial need and as of 2011, receives $30,000 to attend the graduate school of their choice. Established in 1971, the scholarship is open to Americans, citizens of American Samoa and the Commonwealth of the Northern Mariana Islands.
