CHICAGO, March 8, 2016 /PRNewswire/ -- Women's History
Month is an annual celebration of the contributions women have made
to America's history, culture, and society. Fastweb
(www.fastweb.com), the leading website for scholarship and
financial aid information and a member of the Monster network, is
dedicated to helping the future generation of women leaders meet
their educational goals.
In 1987, Congress passed a resolution dedicating March as
Women's History Month. According to the National Women's History
Project, the theme for 2016 is, "Working to Form a More Perfect
Union: Honoring Women in Public
Service and Government". This honors women
who have shaped America's history and its future through their
public service and government leadership.
Today there are a variety of scholarship opportunities for women
in academic areas from technology to sports media to environmental
sciences and more. In Fastweb's new resource, Scholarships for
Women, focus has been placed on bringing together important
scholarship opportunities that cover many educational interests and
all education levels. Applications are open today on many awards
with various award payouts to help students with paying for
school.
More scholarship programs for all students can be found on
