EMPLOYMENT & TRAINING RESOURCES

[cid:image004.png at 01DC4265.379BCDC0] Scholarships For Women
In 2021, women accounted for 58% of all undergraduates or about 8.9 million students, according to the National Center for Education Statistics<https://nces.ed.gov/fastfacts/display.asp?id=98> (NCES). While enrollment fell by 13% from 2010 to 2021, it's projected to grow 9% by 2031, reaching 9.7 million.
Women in the workforce are more educated than ever. In 2021, nearly 48% had a bachelor's degree or higher, up from 11% in 1970, according to a Bureau of Labor Statistics report<https://www.bls.gov/opub/reports/womens-databook/2022/#:~:text=Educational%20attainment,(See%20table%2011>.
Women are more likely to attend college now than ever before. While the wage gap<https://www.pewresearch.org/short-reads/2025/03/04/gender-pay-gap-in-us-has-narrowed-slightly-over-2-decades/> is still an issue in America, the number of women earning a college degree has outpaced men.
As the number of women attending college has increased, the funding available to women through scholarships has also increased. As more women enter the workforce in fields like STEM<https://www.census.gov/library/stories/2021/01/women-making-gains-in-stem-occupations-but-still-underrepresented.html> and business, women can take advantage of scholarships within those fields.
