<p>Other than Coca-Cola, what other scholarships can be saved for grad school? I got a full ride for undergrad...</p>
<p>Look into fellowship programs. To name a few: Gates Millenium Cambridge, Truman Scholar, Rhodes Scholar, Marshall Scholar, etc.</p>
<p>JohnN, Gates Cambridge, Rhodes and Marshall all have geographic restrictions: Gates for Cambridge, UK, Rhodes for Oxford, Marshall for any UK institution. each is also wickedly competitive - 900 applicants for 32 Rhodes, for example. But these 900 were preselected by their respective undergrad institutions, who screen out many more. </p>
<p>But the real story on grad school is more interesting. Many PhD slots are funded by the host institution. Almost all are in science and engineering, and the top programs fund their social science and humanities students too. So outside scholarships are less important. </p>
<p>There are also a number of federal and private programs providing fellowship funds for grad school. Most college websites have a section describing these.</p>
<p>I encourage the OP to do his/her own homework.</p>
<p>thanks for the replies!</p>
<p>i meant more along the lines of scholarship i can apply for now (i'm a hs senior) that i can save the money for grad school. i got the coca cola scholarship, which i know i can save for later (since i won't be needing it for undergrad), but are there any others?</p>
<p>What do you plan to attend graduate school in?</p>
<p>As newmassdad noted, the majority of graduate school Ph.D programs in the sciences, engineering, and social sciences fund their Ph.D students for most of all of the duration of their tenure. For example, I'm going to do a Ph.D in public health and psychology next year and I have full funding (tuition + health insurance) plus a stipend that amounts to a bit over $2,000/mo, and this is quite common in my field. In the natural sciences, there is even more money to be had, particularly when working in research labs or applying for government funded grants like the NSF or the NIH-funded grants. (NSF and NIH also fund the social sciences).</p>
<p>If you are planning on going to the humanities -- well, they sometimes fund students too. But less often than in the sciences, where we are generally advised to NOT attend a doctoral program if we're not funded.</p>
<p>If you're just planning on doing an master's, or going to professional school (law, medicine, business) you will probably take out a lot of loans. In the latter case the assumption will be that you will make plenty of money and readily pay them off.</p>
<p>As for your actual question, there are very few scholarships that will allow you to do that. The majority of these types of scholarships you are eligible for are to pay for your undergrad, not for graduate school, and they do that for a reason. Most of them disburse funds intended for tuition directly to your school of record. There are some smaller scholarship competitions to be found on FastWeb and the like that consist of essay competitions or lottery drawings that will give the money directly to you, but these awards are small, typically under $1,000.</p>
<p>Also, what do you mean you won't need the Coca-Cola scholarship? I would check with your school's financial aid office. When unis get wind that a student has won an outside scholarship, they reduce institutional aid to account for that. Rarely will a student win more scholarship money than they need and get to keep and save it.</p>
<p>Worry about paying for undergrad now, and worry about graduate school later, when you are a junior.</p>
