The Bureau of Labor Statistics reports a direct correlation between educational attainment and income and unemployment rates. Data shows higher median salaries and a lower rate of unemployment among workers with a master's degree compared to workers with lower educational levels. Some individuals pursue a master's to satisfy job or state licensure requirements. Additionally, most doctoral programs require applicants to hold a master's degree. A master's degree requires a significant investment of time and money. This guide includes information about several scholarships for master's degrees that reduce the cost of a postgraduate program. The list includes master's scholarships for different professional arenas. What Is the Difference Between a Fellowship and a Scholarship?In general, colleges and universities grant fellowships to graduate students and scholarships to undergraduates. However, there are many master's scholarships. Scholarships always come with financial aid. Most fellowships, though not all, include financial assistance as well. Some prestigious universities or research institutes award fellowships as a status rather than as a type of financial assistance. For example, some fellows enjoy access to the institution's library and research facilities. Colleges and universities that grant fellowships with a financial component require fellows to perform some type of work in return, often as teaching assistants or researchers. Similarly, many scholarship programs require recipients to maintain a certain level of academic performance. The following list of scholarships for master's degrees also includes fellowship opportunities. 1.
