697 major-specific scholarships, with the amount, the deadline and who can apply for each. Tied to a field of study — nursing, engineering, education, the arts. A smaller, more specific applicant pool than general awards, so the odds are better.
Amounts come from the provider. A large figure is sometimes the total a fund awards across all its recipients rather than what one student receives — confirm the individual award with the provider before you apply.
