Financial aid for graduate students

Students often contact Jeannette Rankin Foundation in search of funding for graduate school. Because of our limited resources, JRF doesn't award scholarships for graduate study, but we know of some scholarship providers that do. Here are a few organizations that offer financial assistance to women in graduate school. We also encourage you to use Scholarships.com and Fastweb.com to search for additional sources of aid.
