I'm a junior interested in studying international relations in college and I'm on the hunt for scholarships specific to women in this field. Does anyone know of any good opportunities or organizations that offer scholarships for women in international relations?
Absolutely! There are indeed scholarships that specifically cater to women interested in international relations or related fields. Here are some examples:
1. The P.E.O. International Peace Scholarship: This scholarship is for female students from outside of the United States or Canada who wish to study in either of those two countries. International relations as a field of study is eligible.
2. Agnes Scott College Leadership Development Scholarship: This is for female undergraduates who have a record of strong academic achievement and a demonstrable interest in international relations.
3. World Politics & Statecraft Fellowship: Although not exclusively for women, this fellowship encourages applications from women candidates. It is designed to support Ph.D. dissertation research on American foreign policy, international relations, international security, strategic studies, area studies, and diplomatic and military history.
4. Margaret McNamara Education Grants: These grants are for women from developing countries who are currently studying in the United States or Canada. While the grants are not specifically targeted at international relations, the field is certainly included.
It's essential to check each scholarship's specific eligibility requirements, deadlines, and application procedures. Also, when you apply to colleges, check if they offer any scholarships for students pursuing international relations. Additionally, don't rule out scholarships for women, students interested in politics, or students interested in public service generally even if they're not specifically for international relations. Good luck with your search!
