Minority Women Scholarship

As a single mom, I've had to pay my way through college with grants and scholarships. So, I've looked at a lot of different programs and along the way, I've found several minority women scholarships that I'd like to share with you.

The United Negro College Fund offers scholarships for women going to historically black colleges such as Spellman and Howard University.

The Hispanic College Fund offers programs at a designated Hispanic serving college.

MillerCoors offers scholarships at designated universities through the Adelante program.

The Ron Brown Scholar program offers graduating African American high school seniors up to $10,000 per year for college.

African American students majoring in Science and Technology fields can apply for the $2000 Development Fund for Black Students in Science and Technology (DFBSST).

World Studio offers scholarships to women of color who specialize in the arts.

The Margaret MacNamera Memorial Fund offers aid to women over the age of 40 who were born outside of the United States.

And, graduate students aren't left out either. The American Association of University Women offers generous grants of $5000 to $20,000 for women attending law, medical, or business school.Getting a good scholarship reduces the amount you have to pay back later in loans. It also may mean the difference between going to college and not being able to get the education you need to get ahead.

I hope you've found the resources in this article helpful. Just as others have helped me on my journey to return to college, I want to pay it forward. So, if you are looking for a minority women scholarship, consider the awards in this article.
