College Scholarships for Married Women

Balancing a marriage and a college schedule can be trying at times, but it doesn't have to be a financial burden. Many college scholarship programs recognize the responsibilities of being a wife and a student at the same time. Scholarship opportunities are available from the study of law to veterinary medicine and many other majors that appeal to career-minded women in the midst of marital commitment and family responsibilities.
