Scholarships for college women who need financial support?

I'm a junior trying to navigate the scholarship world. Are there any scholarships specifically for college women who are in financial need? I'm starting to plan for college expenses and any help would be great!

Certainly! There are several scholarships out there that are targeted specifically towards women in need of financial support. Here are a few:

1. The Patsy Takemoto Mink Education Foundation Scholarships: These are awarded to low-income women who are pursuing a degree. They typically favor those who are committed to serving the public interest.

2. The Jeannette Rankin Women's Scholarship Fund: This is for women over the age of 35 who are pursuing a degree or vocational education.

3. The Association for Women in Science (AWIS) Kirsten R. Lorentzen Award: This is for female undergrads who are studying physics or geoscience.

4. The American Association of University Women (AAUW) Selected Professions Fellowships: This is for women pursuing a full-time course of study in fields where women’s participation traditionally has been low.

5. The Society of Women Engineers (SWE) Scholarships: These are for women pursuing ABET-accredited baccalaureate or graduate programs in preparation for careers in engineering, engineering technology, and computer science.

Remember, each scholarship has its own set of criteria you need to meet, including financial need, and they each have their own deadlines to apply by. Start applying early, and make sure you thoroughly research all the criteria to ensure you're eligible. Think of scholarship applications like applying to colleges – they take time but can really pay off! Good luck!
