Scholarships for women

 

In this day and age, you might be surprised to find out that there are a number of high-paying scholarships which are only open to women. This is because they are trying to encourage more women to study specific subjects (particularly STEM subjects) where women are still underrepresented, or to help women overcome specific barriers.

Here is a selection of some scholarships just for women. Even though you will see that for a few of these, the deadline for this year has passed, they will most likely be offered again next year, so do take note if you are eligible.

There are also many more scholarships on the Blackbullion Funding Hub, the UK’s largest collection of additional funding for students. New scholarships get added throughout the year so it is worth signing up and checking throughout the year.
