Are there scholarships out there for women who plan to major in business? I’m a junior deeply interested in business studies and could really use some financial support. Any advice on where I should start my scholarship search?
Absolutely, there are numerous scholarships specifically designed for women pursuing a degree in business. Here are a few examples:
1. "Women in Business Scholarship" — This scholarship is awarded once a year to women majoring in business. The recipient is selected based on academic achievement and demonstrated leadership skills.
2. "Jane M. Klausman Women in Business Scholarship" — Offered by Zonta International, it recognizes women pursuing an undergraduate degree in business management.
3. "American Business Women’s Association (ABWA) Scholarships" — The ABWA offers several scholarships each year for women who are pursuing a career in business or a related field.
4. "Forté Foundation MBA Scholarships" — If you're considering an MBA down the line, the Forté Foundation offers scholarships to women applying to participating business schools.
Remember, scholarships are just one way to fund your education. You should also complete the FAFSA to determine your eligibility for federal student aid, and explore work-study opportunities, grants, and other forms of financial aid.
You can search for these and other scholarships on websites like Appily, Fastweb, and Scholarships.com, which allow you to filter by criteria like your intended major, demographic information, and more. It's also a good idea to check the financial aid or scholarship page on your chosen college's website, as many universities offer scholarships specific to their business schools.
Remember, every bit counts when it comes to funding your education, so apply to as many scholarships as you're eligible for. Good luck with your search!
