Sure, I commend your proactive approach to finding scholarships. Here are a few national scholarships particularly for Black women:

1. "The National Association of Negro Business and Professional Women’s Clubs Scholarship": They provide scholarships for African American women pursuing various fields of study.

2. "Blacks at Microsoft Scholarships": This scholarship is granted to high-achieving African-American students interested in pursuing careers in technology.

3. "United Negro College Fund (UNCF)": They offer a wide variety of scholarships for African American students based on academic achievement and financial need.

4. "Sisters in Freedom Scholarship": A scholarship offered by the Black Women's Roundtable, awarded to black women who demonstrate leadership abilities.

5. "Women of Color Scholarship, Association for Women in Mathematics": If you are interested in a career in mathematics this scholarship might be suitable for you.

Do remember that the eligibility criteria for these scholarships may vary, so it's important to thoroughly read through them before proceeding with your application. In terms of application tips, highlight your unique experiences and how they have shaped your educational journey, discuss your future goals, and demonstrate a clear need for the scholarship. Also, seek out a mentor or guidance counselor who can provide feedback on your essays and other application materials. Good luck with your scholarship search!
