Historically, women have not had the same educational career opportunities as men. Many colleges did not even admit women until relatively recently. Luckily, colleges and other educational organizations have created a number of programs aimed at supporting women. There are also a number of scholarships for women to pay for undergraduate or graduate education. These scholarships help level the playing field for all women to pursue their education!
