Scholarships for Jewish Women

The cost of a college education or continuing education studies is expensive for many people. Organizations, foundations, and other charitable institutions often provide educational scholarships to make higher education an achievable goal. A few educational scholarships are available for Jewish women specifically, although most scholarships targeted at Jewish students are open to both female and male applicants. Scholarships are typically conditional upon the applicant living in a certain location or studying at a particular institution.
