1. The "Society of Women Engineers Scholarships" is one of the most noteworthy. They offer a range of scholarships that encourage women to excel in engineering and leadership roles in STEM fields.

2. The "American Association of University Women (AAUW)" provides scholarships, fellowships, and grants for women pursuing academic work or research in a range of disciplines, including sciences. These include the "Selected Professions Fellowship," which offers financial support for women in underrepresented fields such as the sciences.

3. "Palantir Women In Technology Scholarship" provides financial support and a potential internship for college females pursuing a degree in the tech field.

4. The "Gertrude M. Cox Scholarship" is offered by the American Statistical Association and targets women who are pursuing graduate-level degrees in statistics, a field within the sciences.
