Scholarships for women heading to college?

I'm a high school junior planning to attend college soon, and I'm trying to find scholarships specifically for women. Does anyone have experience with this, or any suggestions on which ones are worth applying for?

Certainly, there are quite a few scholarships dedicated to supporting women pursuing a post-secondary education. Here are a few notable ones:

1. The American Association of University Women (AAUW) offers several fellowships and grants to women, primarily for graduate studies, but they do also have options for undergraduates.

2. The Society of Women Engineers (SWE) offers scholarships to women pursuing an ABET-accredited baccalaureate program in preparation for a career in engineering, engineering technology, or computer science.

3. The Jeannette Rankin Women’s Scholarship Fund offers awards to women aged 35 or older who are pursuing a technical or vocational education, an associate degree, or their first bachelor’s degree.

4. The P.E.O. STAR Scholarship is a highly competitive one-time $2,500 scholarship for high school senior women who wish to pursue post-secondary education.

5. The American Musical and Dramatic Academy offers scholarships specifically for women who have demonstrated outstanding potential for a career in the performing arts.

Remember, it's best not just look for gender-specific scholarships, but also explore scholarships targeted at your intended major, personal interests, geographical location, or background. The eligibility criteria for each scholarship vary, so make sure you read the fine print before applying.

Furthermore, there's an additional tool you can turn to, Appily, which provides a comprehensive database on scholarships. You simply input your personal details and it matches you with appropriate opportunities. This could help streamline your search process. Good luck with your applications!
