• People sometimes find themselves in need of additional education.harvard university image by Stephen Orsillo from Fotolia.com
  
  Some people find that after earning a bachelor's degree, securing an entry-level position isn't always easy. After landing the dream job, it does not always live up to the dream. This leads individuals with the patience and perseverance to yet again enroll in college seeking a second bachelor's degree in another field. Scholarships help ease the pain of paying for this second degree.
