Scholarships available for females in STEM?

I’m really into science and thinking about a STEM career path. What are some scholarships available that support female students pursuing STEM majors? Any advice or insights are appreciated!

Absolutely! There are a variety of scholarships out there aimed at supporting women in STEM fields. Here are some:

1. The Society of Women Engineers (SWE) Scholarships: SWE offers various scholarships to women pursuing ABET-accredited bachelor or graduate student programs in preparation for careers in engineering, engineering technology, and computer science.

2. The Vanguard Women in Information Technology Scholarships: This scholarship offers female undergraduate students who are studying computer science, computer engineering, web design, or another IT-related discipline.

3. The Gertrude M. Cox Scholarship: This scholarship is granted to women who are pursuing a degree in statistics or data science is awarded to a recipient each year.

4. The Association for Women in Mathematics (AWM) Scholarships: The AWM provides a range of awards and prizes for women engaging in mathematical pursuits.

5. The Alice T. Schafer Mathematics Prize: Presented to undergraduate women for excellence in mathematics, this prize is another initiative from the AWM.

Remember to also apply for local scholarships or those offered directly by your intended college - they can be easier to win due to the smaller applicant pool. Remember to start your applications early and complete them fully; give yourself the best shot you can at as many opportunities as possible.

Finally, don't hesitate to actively participate in STEM-related extracurriculars, clubs, or internships. They could offer scholarship opportunities or the chance to be recommended for one. Best of luck in your pursuit of a STEM career!
