I'm a female student planning to study abroad in 2024. Does anyone have information on scholarships specifically for women? I'm curious about any resources or organizations that offer financial support for female students going overseas.
There are indeed a number of scholarships available to female students studying abroad. Here are a few well-known ones that you might consider:
1. P.E.O. International Peace Scholarship (IPS): The International Peace Scholarship Fund, established in 1949, provides scholarships for selected women from other countries for graduate study in the United States and Canada.
2. Zonta International Amelia Earhart Fellowships: Established in 1938, this fellowship is awarded annually to women pursuing a PhD/doctoral degree in aerospace-related sciences or aerospace-related engineering.
3. Margaret McNamara Education Grants: These grants are awarded to women from developing countries currently studying in the United States or Canada.
4. Adobe Research Women-in-Technology Scholarship: Open to female undergraduate and master's students worldwide studying computer science or related field.
5. British Federation of Women's Graduate Scholarships: They grant scholarships to female postgraduate students from the U.K. and overseas in a range of academic fields.
These are just a few examples. Each scholarship will have its own eligibility requirements and application process. You should check the official websites or speak with the financial aid office at your future university to get the most accurate and updated information.
Remember to also check out resources available from the college or university you're planning to attend as they may offer scholarships specifically for international female students. Collegiate level scholarships can often be a significant form of financial aid.
Good luck with your scholarship search!
