Around 2 centuries ago it was just men who got a university education. About a hundred years ago women would only amount to about 15% of the university population. Today women make up 50% of the students in universities the world over. Yet despite the rise in the number of women enrolling in universities a lot of inequality still exists within the world of the academe. Usually when scholarships become available these are awarded to men. It isn't for the reason that they are superior to women really, but do to the reason that the common belief is that men will find the scholarships more useful than women. Many have noticed this unfair distribution of aid to students and so Scholarships for Women came into being.

This scholarships are exclusively for women and see to the varied needs and ways of living that women have. The rules of these scholarships vary from case to case as well.

There are various Scholarships for Women up for grabs. These as well cater to various tiers of education in the university from scholarships for the undergrad to for those doing post grad studies to those into research. One of the truly well known scholarship up for grabs is the history scholarship which is given to women who are doing their study in the realm of history. There are also scholarships which encourage women to go into male dominated fields. These scholarships are for engineering, math, computer science and other scientific fields. Many scholarships are also available for women who want to go into finances and business administration.

Said scholarships provide for various kinds of women from varied backgrounds. Scholarships exists for women who have stood out in high school, scholarships for those with children, and scholarships for those who had to stop studying but are now ready to go back and other scholarships of these kinds. Scholarships even exists for distinguished girl scouts.

Women don't have a reason anymore not to acquire a university education. With Scholarships for Women they are sure to have an easier time with their studies. Women are now able to acquire the type of schooling that 200 years ago was beyond the ken of women and a century ago was just something women imagined having.
