Description

It’s been more than 30 years since the first edition of the Directory of Financial Aids for women used to be first published in 1977. In the years since then, the directory has tripled in size, quadrupled in access, increased in detail, and expanded in scope. The 2009-2011 edition identifies billions of dollars in financial aid and funding that has been set aside primarily or exclusively for women. This is more money than has ever been to be had before!

WHO SHOULD USE THIS DIRECTORY?
If you are on the lookout for financial aid for women, or know women who are, then this is the directory for you. Here, in one place, are detailed descriptions of nearly 1,500 funding programs–representing billions of dollars in financial aid set aside specifically for women. This is all “free” money–not one dollar ever must be repaid! Some examples: $5,000 for high school women athletes to go to college, thousands of dollars for women in study engineering or chemistry, up to $5,000 for older women to start or go back to college, $14,000 per year to women for graduate study in the biological sciences, $18,000 for Hispanic-American women to work on a Ph.D. dissertation. And the list goes on and on.

WHAT’S COVERED IN THE DIRECTORY?
This funding is open to women at any level (high school through postdoctoral and professional) for study, research, go back and forth, training, career development, or innovative effort. Each of these funding opportunities is thoroughly described, including contact (address, telephone numbers, e-mail addresses, and web sites), purpose, eligibility, financial data, duration, special features, limitations, number awarded, and deadline date.

Plus, the directory provides a set of indexes that mean you can search the directory by program title, sponsoring organization, geographic coverage, subject field, and application deadline. There is no other source like this for women. It is the standard in the field!

WHAT DO THE REVIEWERS SAY?
The directory has been featured in a lot of popular magazines, including Glamour, Good Housekeeping, New Woman, and Teen magazine. It used to be selected as the “cream of the crop” by School Library Journal and the “Best of the Best” in education/career materials by the National Education and Information Center Advisory Committee. In the words of the Grantsmanship Center, “No organization interested in serving women should be without this directory!” Perhaps American Reference Books Annual summed it up best: “The title is a should-purchase guide.”
