Opportunities for women-only college scholarships?

Looking at women’s colleges and I'm curious if they offer specific scholarships for female students. Does anyone know of scholarship opportunities unique to attending an all-women's college?

Many women's colleges indeed provide scholarships specifically tailored to their students.

For instance, at Barnard College, there's the Barnard Presidential Scholarship, which provides full tuition based on merit. Similarly, at Smith College, students can apply for the Ada Comstock Scholars Program, which specifically supports non-traditional-aged women students by covering tuition, room, board, and even some personal expenses.

Wellesley College offers various merit scholarships ranging from a few thousand dollars to full tuition, such as the Wellesley College Scholarship, the Wellesley Honor Scholarship, and the Wellesley Faculty Scholarship.

Another example is Mount Holyoke College, where students can benefit from the 21st Century Scholarship aid program which supports domestic students from families with low to moderate incomes.

All of these scholarships are granted mainly based on academic achievement, leadership, and community involvement. Each college has specifics on its eligibility and application process, so be sure to check out each college's financial aid website for details.

Moreover, not limited only to all women’s colleges, there are many external scholarships that focus on supporting women pursuing higher education. A few examples include the P.E.O. STAR Scholarship, the Alice T. Schafer Mathematics Prize, and the Margaret McNamara Education Grants.

Keep in mind that applying for these scholarships will require additional effort beyond your college application and may have earlier or different deadlines. Stay organized and pay attention to details to maximize your chances of earning aid.
