    Updated: October 2nd, 2024

    Historically, women have not had the same educational career opportunities as men. Many colleges did not even admit women until relatively recently. Luckily, colleges and other educational organizations have created a number of programs aimed at supporting women. There are also a number of college scholarships for women to pay for undergraduate or graduate education. These scholarships help level the playing field for all women to pursue their education!

    • The scholarship provider’s privacy policy allows for the misuse of student data
    • The scholarship requires paid membership in an organization (with certain exceptions for reputable trade organizations and others)
    • Student are required to sign up for a site or service to apply*
    • The scholarship seems primarily used for lead generation** or idea harvesting purposes***
    • The scholarship website has many grammatical errors and/or advertisements
    • The scholarship or scholarship providing organization seem untrustworthy
    • There is no evidence the scholarship was previously awarded
    • The scholarship has not been awarded in the past 12 months
    • There is no available contact information

    If you believe a scholarship has been published in error, please reach out to [email protected] and we’ll take a look!


    * There are certain exceptions to this, for example if the sponsoring organization is a major corporation or nonprofit with its own scholarship application system.
    ** Lead generation scholarships will require students to sign up for an app or website and require minimal (if any) application requirements.
    ***Idea harvesting scholarships will require students to submit blog posts or other materials that companies may use for marketing purposes.

    The “Mom to Scholar'' Scholarship for Mothers is open to mothers who want to begin or resume their journey towards earning a technical or college degree. This scholarship is funded by Scholarships360’s own Maria Geiger, who started her journey toward a B.A. at the same time that her oldest son Will started college. Maria knows firsthand how challenging it is to raise a family, have a job outside the home, and attend college, but would not change the way she did things for the world. Mothers who have a desire to earn their college degree bring unique perspectives that greatly enhance their learning experiences; for some, motherhood is a vocation that enlightens like no other. If you are a mother over the age of 35 who feels that the time is right to begin your academic or career journey, please apply!

    How to win scholarships for women

    Like any scholarships, scholarships for women receive a huge number of applications, so it’s important to make yours stand out if you want to win. Before you start writing your application, it’s a good idea to give the scholarship prompts and background a very thorough read-through.

    Research the organization

    Try to identify the values and principles that the organization values, and emphasize those in your writing. Make sure you are answering the prompts directly, and speaking to how your experience as a woman has shaped your choices. Remember to address the prompts in a way that focuses on the principals the organization holds.

    Bridge your identity and your goals

    Being a woman is a part of your identity, and you could write many essays about what being a woman means to you. But what scholarship providers want to know is: how has it shaped your educational goals, your career goals, and your life goals? Try to discuss your formative moments in relation to the change you want to make in the world. This will help make scholarship orgs excited about you as a candidate.

    Writing strong essays

    One of the best ways to make your application stand out is to write some strong essays. Luckily, we have a host of resources to help you fine-tune your writing. These include guides on how to write about yourself, how to start and end scholarship essays, and how to write a winning scholarship essay. We can also help you tailor your writing to 250 or 500 word prompts, and respond to the most common scholarship essay prompts. Good luck!

    Resources for women in underrepresented fields

    Despite the many advances towards gender equality, there are still many academic and professional fields where women are very underrepresented. Luckily, there are great professional organizations out there to help women who decide to pursue these fields.

    Women pursuing STEM and engineering degrees should check out the Society of Women Engineers. They offer many scholarships and professional opportunities for women in engineering. There are many other more specific organizations aimed to support women in subfields of STEM. For example, computer science majors should check out the ACM Committee on Women in Computing

    The American Association of University Women, or AAUW, is another great resource fighting for gender equality in academia and the professional sphere. They offer a wide variety of scholarships, fellowships, grants, and workshops for women pursuing higher education. No matter your field of study, be sure to see if they have any resources to help you out.

    Make sure to look for an organization that matches your interests to find new scholarship and networking opportunities!
