<p>Hi, this question isn’t actually for me, but for my friend. I was hoping to help her find some scholarships for next year. Specifically, scholarships for someone interested in insects. She’s planning on majoring in entomology next year and she’s an avid beekeeper - in fact, she was the Pennsylvania State Honey Queen for 2009. I know there are some scholarships out there for entomology majors once they’re no longer underclassmen, but I was wondering if anyone knows of any non-institutional, insect related scholarships for incoming freshmen? My searches have proved fruitless so any help would be really appreciated!</p>
<p>The first scholarship listed can be used for undergraduate or graduate students (does not specify a certain year of school), but they must be a minority, have financial need, or something like that (see the website for more details). Hope that helps, and good luck to your friend!</p>

<p>States have their own associations which offer scholarships

<p>Thank you so much! These are extremely helpful! She was delighted when I sent them to her.</p>
<p>Looking at these links made me realize I should also mention that my friend isn’t a member of FFA, 4-H, or Grange… or anything like that. Although I do think she’s part of a beekeepers association. She’s also planning on attending the University of Delaware, though I think she’s checked out any scholarships the institution offers. Once again, THANK YOU!</p>
<p>Since she was the state Honey Queen, she should check with the state and national Honey Boards to find out if they have any special scholarships for students majoring in subjects related to the industry. Those organizations might also be able to help her find good summer jobs/internships in the field.</p>
