Scholarships

The Gerontology Program offers several funding opportunities each year for students in the Gerontology Minor.

Each spring, students may apply for Academic Scholarships, which recognize strong academic performance and commitment to the field of aging. Students may receive this scholarship up to two times. In the fall, students may apply for the Service Award, which recognizes exceptional service with older adults or in aging-related settings and may be received once.

Students may also apply for Certification Funding to help cover the cost of age-related certifications that strengthen their résumés and can lead to better career opportunities in aging services.

Students who present aging-related research at the Fulton Conference or the BYU Gerontology Conference are also eligible to compete for a Best Gerontology Poster cash prize.

We occasionally offers Study Abroad Scholarships to help students participate in age-related international learning experiences.

Occasionally, additional scholarship opportunities become available as new funding is established. All funding opportunities are announced by email to students in the Gerontology Minor and posted on the program website.
