I'm a female high school junior from Idaho looking for scholarships specifically for women. Are there any Idaho-based scholarships that cater to female students? Any leads or advice would be fantastic!
Certainly, there are numerous scholarships available to female students from Idaho. A few options you may consider:
1. Laura Moore Cunningham Foundation Scholarship: This foundation provides scholarships to Idaho high school graduates who demonstrate financial need. While they don't solely target female students, they often help female applicants in fields where they are traditionally underrepresented.
2. Idaho Governor's Cup Scholarships: These are merit-based scholarships for Idaho high school seniors planning to attend college in Idaho. They award two distinct scholarships: one for academic students and one for career-technical students. Again, while not solely for females, many female applicants do apply and receive these funds.
3. Advancing Women in STEM Scholarship: This scholarship is sponsored by the Zonta Club of Boise, an organization dedicated to improving the status of women through service and advocacy. It is awarded to young women pursuing a degree in a STEM field at any of Idaho’s accredited higher education institutions.
These are just a few examples. To find more, you could check out Appily, which is a comprehensive scholarship database. You can apply filters to search for scholarships based on your circumstances and interests. Another way to find scholarships would be to reach out to your high school guidance counselor, they usually have a wealth of local scholarship information and can help guide your search.
Remember, applying for scholarships involves presenting yourself in the best light to the scholarship committee. Tailoring each application to the specific scholarship, keeping your applications organized, and starting your search and application process early are all keys to success. Best of luck!
