College Scholarships Foundation Women's Scholarship

Scholarship Amount

We're giving away $500 this year to a female college student this year.

The Purpose

The roles of women as family caretakers and members of the workforce have started to even out. According to the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics, women, when compared to men, spend more time on caring for children/household members and housework, while also working nearly as many hours at their jobs - about a one hour difference.

Some women find getting an education to be a difficult undertaking, especially when childbearing enters the picture. Although college enrollment of women is higher than men, the financial burden may be harder to deal with during school and after a degree is completed.

We help deserving female students with their education expenses so they can focus on what's most important - caring for the current and future generations.

• U.S. citizen;
