I'm planning to major in physics and I'm looking for scholarships that support female students in this field. Do any scholarships focus on women pursuing STEM, specifically physics? Any leads would be incredibly helpful!
Sure, I'd be more than happy to share some scholarship options popular among female physics majors:
1. The APS Scholarship for Undergraduate Women in Physics: This scholarship is dedicated to female undergraduate physics majors. The American Physical Society (APS) focuses on supporting women interested in physics who are in their freshman or sophomore year of college.
2. The Society of Physics Students (SPS) Scholarships: SPS provides a selection of scholarships that physics majors, regardless of gender, can apply for. However, some are specifically for underrepresented groups in the field, and female students can be considered under this category.
3. Palantir Women in Technology Scholarship: This scholarship is for undergraduate women pursuing degrees in STEM fields.
4. The Priscilla Carney Jones Scholarship: This award is specifically for female students majoring in physics or a related field.
Do remember to verify the eligibility criteria for each one of these, as they all have their unique set of requirements and deadlines. Using Appily might be a helpful tool in organizing your scholarship search. These scholarships reflect just a handful of the many opportunities available to women in STEM fields. Best of luck in your search!
