The following scholarships are available to PFW students, IU Students and those attending other institutions. They are organized by the criteria on which they are awarded, though most have more than one criterion. Check out all the categories that apply to you. Each entry contains a link that will take you to a webpage that includes the application or instructions for applying. Please read the criteria carefully. You don’t want to spend hours on an application and then discover that you don’t meet the eligibility criteria.

Please note, if you live outside Allen County, in northeast Indiana or northwest Ohio, take a look at the last section to find links to community foundations in most counties that administer several scholarship funds. Most of the community foundation scholarships are geared toward new high school graduates, but the foundations listed on this database also administer scholarships that are open to—sometimes they are only open to—nontraditional students.

The Women's Center staff is available to answer questions or offer additional advice for your scholarship search. You can reach us at [email protected]  or by phone at 260-481-6029.
