What are some college scholarships for African American females?

I'm a high school junior looking for college scholarships specifically for African American females. Does anyone have any recommendations or know of any resources or organizations that specialize in this area? Thanks in advance!

There are several scholarships specifically designed for African American females. Below are a few examples:

1. The "UNCF (United Negro College Fund) Scholarships": The UNCF administers a variety of scholarships, some of which are targeted towards African American women, such as the Dr. Wynetta A. Frazier "Sister to Sister" scholarship, intended for women who are returning to school after some time.

2. "Blacks at Microsoft Scholarships": Although these are not specifically for women, they are targeted at African American students interested in technology-related fields, so if this applies to you, it could be worth looking into.

3. The "National Association of Negro Business and Professional Women’s Clubs Scholarships": They offer different types of scholarships for women who demonstrate leadership potential and commitment to public service.

You might also want to look into Appily, a scholarship search tool that allows you to personalize your search based on different factors such as ethnicity, gender, and intended major. It can help you find scholarships that are relevant to your unique situation. Remember, it's also worth considering scholarships that are not only for African American women but match your personal circumstances, academic interests, or community involvement. That way, you're casting a wide net to potentially secure more financial aid.

Remember to take note of the requirements, deadlines, and needed documents for each scholarship you are planning to apply for. It can be helpful to create a schedule or a spreadsheet to keep everything organized. Good luck with your hunt!
