Agnostic students are those who are skeptical about the existence of God or any such power. Such students are considered as a select group who do get some benefits in the form of special scholarships from various universities and colleges. This initiative is to ensure that they are not singled out for their belief systems and values. There are associations created by such individuals and students which are popular and frequented by the like-minded community of non-believers.

Some of the leading college scholarships available for students who are agnostic are as follows:
