How to find graduate scholarships for women

Graduate students are still eligible for many scholarship opportunities, they're just a bit less numerous than undergraduate scholarships.

Female graduate students can find scholarships by searching the Bold.org scholarships page by education level and selecting "Graduate." Next, filter the category to "Women" and make sure you are looking only at available scholarship opportunities by toggling the status to "Open."
