Grant for Women Scholars with Doctorate Degrees in Minnesota (USA)
GrantID: 19777
Grant Funding Amount Low: Open
Deadline: Ongoing
Grant Amount High: Open
Summary
This opportunity is open to women—either as individuals or through nonprofit organizations—seeking to further education, professional advancement, or community‑based initiatives in the U.S. and beyond. One strand supports women who hold a bachelor’s degree and are preparing for graduate study, career reinvention, or training in professional fields, especially in areas where women have been underrepresented. Another strand supports organizations or branches that deliver programs promoting girls’ and women’s access, equity and leadership. A third strand offers funding to international women scholars or alumnae who have earned a degree and now wish to implement projects that benefit women and girls in their home country.
The funds are intended for active implementation—for example advancing studies, opening career paths, conducting research, or running community‐based programs—not simply covering basic living expenses without clear impact. Projects might include coursework, professional credentials, mentorship programs, STEM pipelines for girls, or international community development tied to women’s leadership. For organizational grants, funds support mission‐driven programs with measurable outcomes for women and girls.
Eligibility varies: for individual awards, applicants must identify as women, hold a recognized bachelor’s degree, meet the citizenship or residency condition, and be ready to enroll or conduct research in an approved setting. For organizational grants, eligible applicants are nonprofits or educational institutions in the U.S., proposing programs tied to equity for women and girls. For the international strand, applicants must have completed their study program and lead a community initiative in their home country. The geographic reach includes U.S. citizens/permanent residents for many awards, and non‑U.S. citizens for international awards.
Award amounts vary quite a bit depending on the program—some individual grants provide several thousand dollars, while project or institutional awards can reach tens of thousands. Application cycles are annual or on a predictable schedule; many start with a preliminary inquiry or application and follow with a full proposal for selected applicants. If you are a woman scholar or a nonprofit working to advance women’s access, leadership or education, and you’re ready to move beyond planning into action, this opportunity could be an excellent fit.
