How to find scholarships for women's colleges?

I'm super interested in attending a women's college, but I'm concerned about the tuition. Are there specific scholarships available for women's colleges that I should be aware of? Any guidance or personal experiences would be appreciated!

There are indeed scholarships tailored for students interested in attending women's colleges! For instance, The Jeannette Rankin Women's Scholarship Fund offers scholarships specifically to women age 35 and older attending a selection of colleges, and among those are numerous women's colleges.

Additionally, many women's colleges themselves offer scholarships. As these are school-specific, you'll want to visit the financial aid page of the respective colleges' websites where you'll often find information about school-based scholarships, such as merit-based aid, athletic grants, and program-specific scholarships.

For example, if you're considering Wellesley College, you might want to look into the Wellesley College Scholarship, which is available to first-year students and is based on financial need; this college also offers several merit-based scholarships like the Trustee Scholarship.

Smith College, another premier women's college, offers a range of scholarships, including the Stride Scholarship, which rewards leadership service with a tuition grant.

The PEO International Peace Scholarship is for international women who want to study in the U.S. or Canada and could be applied to a women's college.

Don't forget to go through scholarship search websites like Scholarship.com, Fastweb, and Appily to find more scholarships that you may qualify for, not just those limited to women's colleges. While giving priority to funding specifically for the colleges you're interested in, remember that you can look at scholarships for women in higher education in general as well.

Also, consider contacting your school counselor or the financial aid department of the colleges you're interested in, to help identify the scholarships best fit for you. Good luck with your scholarship search!
