Introduction
It’s no secret that scholarships are a great way to earn more money while in school. And while there are many fields that offer these opportunities, some of them have become more popular than others over time. This article will explore some of the most popular emerging scholarship fields right now and how they’re likely to grow as technology develops further.
Biotechnology
Biotechnology is the use of living organisms and bioprocesses in engineering, technology, medicine and other fields. Biotechnology has been used to produce products including food, fuel, pharmaceuticals and other chemicals. Say’s Dr Lane Sebring, the field of biotechnology has many applications such as research into new vaccines, drugs or medical devices; genetic modification of organisms (such as bacteria) for use in industrial processes; production of synthetic fuels from biomass; or the large scale production of biofuels such as ethanol fuel from corn crops.[1]
Information Technology
You have probably heard of a little field called Information Technology (IT). This is one of the fastest growing fields in America, and if you are looking for a career that will give you both long-term stability and flexibility, then IT is an excellent choice.
Information Technology has become so important because it can be applied to almost every industry out there today. From healthcare to finance and everything in between, IT has become an integral part of how businesses operate on a daily basis. In fact, according to some sources: “The average lifespan for an app is just two years before being replaced by another app.”
Renewable Energy Sources
Renewable energy sources are a hot topic in the world of scholarship funding. As more countries look to reduce their carbon footprint and become more sustainable, renewable energy is becoming an increasingly important sector of the economy. In addition to being environmentally friendly and sustainable, these sources of power can be used in many ways: solar panels can provide electricity for homes and businesses; wind turbines generate clean energy from wind currents; geothermal heat pumps use the earth’s heat to warm up buildings during winter months; tidal power harnesses water currents from oceans or rivers (or even lakes!)
Renewable resources will likely continue to grow in popularity as people become more aware of their benefits–and as governments implement policies that encourage their use
Robotics
Robotics is the study and design of robots, as well as computer systems for their control, sensory feedback and information processing. These technologies are used to develop machines that can substitute for humans or enhance their capabilities. In general, a robot may be any automatic device that replaces human activity in any form whatsoever (not only physical).
Automation, Control Systems and Instrumentation
Automation, Control Systems and Instrumentation is a broad field that encompasses a wide range of skills and knowledge. The field is expected to grow by 15% between now and 2022, which is faster than average for other fields (11%).
The ASCE offers scholarships worth up to $5,000 each year for students pursuing careers in this discipline. You can apply if you’re currently enrolled at an accredited four-year institution or plan on enrolling within one year of applying; your GPA must be 3.0 or higher; and your major must be within the engineering field–and if it isn’t, there are still ways to get your foot in the door! In addition to scholarships from ASCE itself, some schools offer their own awards specifically targeted toward engineering majors interested in automation systems technology (AST).
Conclusion
If you’re looking for an opportunity to make a difference in the world, these are some of the most exciting fields. With so much potential and innovation, they’re sure to offer scholarships for many years to come.
