March is Women's History Month, dedicated to celebrating women's contributions to culture, society and American history since 1987. Each year, the National Women's History Alliance selects and publishes a yearly theme; the 2020 Women's History Month theme is "Valiant Women of the Vote." The theme honors "the brave women who fought to win suffrage rights for women, and for the women who continue to fight for the voting rights of others." In recognition of these stellar past achievements and the opportunities they brought - as well as the current and future contributions by our nation's women - Scholarships.com organized a list of college scholarships for women for Women's History Month.
