for Education Statistics</a> (NCES). While enrollment fell by 13% from 2010 to 2021, it’s projected to grow 9% by 2031, reaching 9.7 million.<o:p></o:p></span></p>

<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:14.0pt;color:black">As the number of women attending college has increased, the funding available to women through scholarships has also increased.
