Hey ladies!

School is expensive AF. Thankfully, there are tons of foundations, institutions, organizations, and individuals that want to help support you.

People set up all kinds of requirements for scholarships. I mean, there’s a scholarship for creating a prom outfit out of Duct Tape (for real). Almost anything about you (your interests, your major, your minor, your background) could lead to a scholarship, including your gender.

We’ve curated a list of scholarships (and scholarship services) for women. Get that cash!

You need to know about Goingmerry.com

Because literally anyone can give a scholarship (a company, a family, a school, a foundation, your grandma, your dog- jk), the requirements can be incredibly varied and niche. Scholarship for “Mystery-writing phlebotomists in the south-western Adirondacks region” anyone?

Going Merry is a solution to finding the scholarships that you’re eligible for. Once you fill out a profile, their site automatically matches you to all the scholarships you meet requirements for. At the moment, they have a few just for the ladies.

Bonus: they also tell you how much time each scholarship will take to apply for so you can prioritize. Easy! I tried it out and was matched to over $100,000 worth of scholarships, most of which took less than 20 mins to finish. Get in there!
