What Are Some Unique Scholarships Available for Women?

I'm a female junior looking into college scholarships. I'm specifically interested in unique or lesser-known opportunities. Does anyone have recommendations or experiences with unique scholarships for women?

Absolutely! Here are some unique scholarships for women:

1. The P.E.O. STAR Scholarship: This is a scholarship awarded by the P.E.O. Sisterhood, an international women's organization dedicated to providing education opportunities for women. The scholarship is for high school senior women who are U.S. or Canadian citizens.

2. American Association of University Women (AAUW) Selected Professions Fellowships: These are awarded to women who intend to pursue a full-time course of study in fields where women’s participation traditionally has been low, such as architecture, computer sciences, engineering, and more.

3. Women's Western Golf Foundation Scholarship: This one is for female high school seniors who have a serious interest in golf.

4. Society of Women Engineers (SWE) Scholarships: SWE provides several scholarships to women pursuing ABET-accredited baccalaureate programs in preparation for careers in engineering, engineering technology, and computer science.

5. Jeannette Rankin Foundation Scholarships: These are for low-income women, ages 35 and older, who are pursuing a degree or vocational training.

6. The Miss America Scholarship Fund: If you're a fan of pageants, this one might appeal to you. The Miss America organization has a scholarship fund for contestants who take part in its events. It's quite a unique one!

Remember to start your search early and apply to as many scholarships as you qualify for. Every bit helps and can contribute to reducing your college expenses. Good luck!
