Summary

Are you looking for financial aid for women? Or, do you know women who are? The 1997-1999 edition of the Directory of Financial Aids for Women may be exactly what is needed to be successful. Here, in one place, are descriptions of more than 1,700 funding programs -- representing billions of dollars in financial aid set aside specifically for women. Some examples: -- $5,000 for high school women athletes to go to college; -- thousands of dollars for women to study engineering or chemistry; -- up $5,000 for older women to start or go back to college; -- $18,000 for women to work on a Ph.D. dissertation; -- $14,000 per year for women interested in graduate study in the biological sciences; -- up to $50,000 in venture capital. And the list goes on and on. Plus, when you buy the directory, you also get an annotated bibliography of 60 key directories that identify even more financial aid opportunities and a set of indexes that let you search the directory by title, sponsor, residency, tenability, subject, and deadline date.
