Although there are a lot of scholarship programs for working and married individuals, there are not a lot of undergraduate scholarships for women. A lot of scholarship programs are being offered to high school graduates but older people, particularly women, are provided fewer chances of attending a college of their choice for free. Why is this so? While the reasons of sponsors may vary, the most common thought is that older people have other concerns other than schooling. Some have families and jobs to attend to. They might not be able to devote 100% of their time to their studies and prior commitments might get in their way. If you are persistent; however, to earn your associate's or bachelor's degree, then there are scholarships waiting for you-- and with a little perseverance, you could be a college student by the next semester.

If you are interested to apply for an undergraduate scholarship, you need to tap into as many resources as you can to find the perfect scholarship program or grant. You must also be persistent and willing to comply with the paperwork needed to qualify for the program. The first thing you should try to do in order to heighten your chances of receiving a program is to apply for as many scholarship programs as you can, be it undergraduate scholarships for men and women or for women only. Some undergraduate scholarships for women prioritize married women or single moms and if you fall in that category, your chances of receiving the scholarship becomes higher.

When it comes to scholarships and grants, the military has a lot of scholarship programs for different people and situations. Wives of US servicemen are offered scholarships to finish their college education. The requirements vary from their other scholarship programs so you will have to inquire from the US Army for specific requirements depending on your status. Another good source of undergraduate scholarships for women is the American Association of University Women Educational Foundation. Their fellowship and grants provide women from all walks of life a chance to finish their undergraduate studies for free. They also offer grants to married women and single moms.
