How do I get these scholarships?

Obtaining a scholarship is dependent upon the requirements of the granting institution. Some require you to be a member of their organization, some are industry specific. Some are open to all and others only to those that meet the select criteria specified by the granting organization. Most organizations only give scholarships at specific times during the year to one or a very few individuals.
