Scholarships for Women

March, being Women's History Month, is a time to celebrate not only the achievements and accomplishments of the many great women who have paved the way to this modern day, but also to celebrate the opportunities that such accomplishments have opened to the young women of future generations.


Once of the best ways to honor such extraordinary women of the past is to take advantage of the opportunities awarded for your future - opportunities that, without their hard work, determination and efforts, would not be available to you today.


It's no secret that scholarships come in all varieties – race, ethnicity and, of course, gender. However, that's only because of the dedication women of the past put into equal educational opportunities for women.


And, while many still believe there's progress to be made, one of the best ways to do so is by taking your future into your own hands and seizing opportunities, such as scholarships for women.


Many celebrate fierce females by awarding remarkable women in certain fields of study or through various organizations which focus on different aspects, such as women’s studies, the empowerment of women and endowments specifically left to female students.


To help better organize your scholarship search, please note that the following awards for female students are listed according to deadline, with the earliest deadline appearing at the top of the page. Deadlines that vary will appear at the bottom of the list. As deadlines pass, opportunities will be refreshed as often as possible.


Here are some great scholarship, internship and award opportunities that celebrate the true meaning of those who fought for women's equality by enhancing the lives of women through educational opportunities:
