Yes! Many organizations offer female scholarships to support female undergraduates of all academic years including: sophomore, juniors, and seniors pursuing a college education—especially in underrepresented areas like STEM fields and marine biology.
These scholarships often consider factors such as community involvement, leadership potential, and plans to pursue graduate study at an accredited university. Students with financial hardship can absolutely apply for more money during their undergraduate studies.
The Miss America Foundation's largest award is valued at up to $10,000. Some of their awards are renewable up to four years, making them an invaluable resource for female students who demonstrate financial need. Other high-dollar-amount providers include the Dell Scholarship Program and several Bold.org scholarships, which range from $2,000 to $10,000.
Eligibility often includes being a U.S. citizen or permanent resident, maintaining a minimum GPA, and being in your senior year of high school or currently enrolled in an accredited college. Applicants are typically expected to demonstrate academic merit, career goals, and a commitment to closing the gender gap through leadership or achievement.
