She usually needs to be a BACHELOR first, i.e. B.A.\nI wish life wasn't so sexist. (I am a man.)

You can research all of the -online- programs for information, but i think YOUR choice will depend of what the school has to offer in your personal field of study.\n\nThere are so many more, now, and simply playing 'Blind-man's bluff' is not a good way to pick your choice.\n\nResearch, research and research. Ask about graduates, study programs, academics, qualifications of instructors, and such.\nI know of one school that came very highly recommended to me in my study of ministry, and I seriously considered it, UNTIL I learned they DO NOT endorse ordination of women in the ministry, and I am already an ordained minister, and I am a woman.  \n\nSo, you see, in spite of all the strong points in favor of the choice, this one issue cancelled the school as one of my choices.\n\nGood luck

These two words are synonyms, that is, both mean "partnership". But there are differences in use and context. "Membership" is a general term, related to a club or a society (you may be a member of the "Tennis Club", for example).\n\n"Fellowship" refers to (1) an association or a foundation for providing payment for a fellow´s services, such as university professors or predoctoral or postdoctoral fellows ("Ford Foundation Fellowships"); (2) the position of a fellow at a university (she was granted a fellowship); (3) the stipend of a fellow (Postdoctoral fellowships encourage research).

"Fellows" are those who have been awarded "fellowships."  Fellows receive money for doing something for the university, usually some kind of advanced research.  Sometimes they will work as "graduate assistants" and teach/tutor a class or lab.  Contrary to how it may sound, "fellowships" can be awarded to men and women.\n\nGood luck!

Yes why not. I'm happily married but have female friends who I call.

Under the federal law they are not REQUIRED to hire a certain number of women, but rather their workforce must be representative of the community in which it is based.  There is still some legal debate over what that REALLY means.

I'm sure there's still alot of bias with recruiting men only but as long as the experience and qualifications match the job duties and you pass any pre-employment physical exams, etc., have good refernces and a stable employment history...there's no reason a woman shouldn't be hired!  Consult your Human Rights office if you think you've been dicriminated against.  Good Luck!

That I am not sure of, but it would be something great for the women of this Country to finally be recognized for what we do for this country. This is something that you can write to your Local and State Congressman about. Enough letters will get this noticed and will get passed on to the president.

The age is 18. And only males are required to register.[1]\nAlso you will be automatically registered if you file for financial aid.[2]\nThe women's exemption was found constitutional by The Supreme Court[3]

To apply for grants, go to Grants.gov http://www.grants.gov . They have everything you need to apply for grants. \n\nThe first step is to register with Grants.gov and their registration process can be accessed from http://www.grants.gov/\n\n1. Get a Data Universal Number System (DUNS) Number\n2. Register with Central Contractor Registry (CCR)\n3. Authorize your Organization's Representatives\n4. Login as an E-Business Point of Contact (POC)\n\nYou will first be asked to find the grant number of the grant that you wish to apply for. You can get this from the Catalog of Domestic Assistant http://www.cfda.gov which is the federal database of all grants.\n\nBut whether you can find grants to allow you to start business is an entirely different matter. It is hard to find grants to start a business. Unlike the myths that some perpetuate, federal government and even private foundations hardly give grant money for a for-profit business. Grants are generally given to support non-profit organizations, intermediary lending institutions, and state and local governments, and hardly to individuals for the purpose of buying a business. \n\nFederal grants generally support non-profit organizations, intermediary lending institutions, and state and local governments. Most of the federal grants are given to specific target groups with specific requirements (e.g. minority business owners involved in transportation related contracts emanating from DOT - Grant#20.905 Disadvantaged Business Enterprises Short Term Lending Program \n\nGrants are also often given to non profit groups or organizations involved in training or other similar activities (grant 59.043 Women's Business Ownership Assistance that are given to those who will create women's business center that will train women entrepreneurs

No. Unlike the myths that some perpetuate, federal government and even private foundations hardly give grant money for personal purposes such as paying back student loans. There are several grants available for the disabled, but none of them are for paying student loans.\n\nNonetheless, you can go to the Catalog of Federal Domestic Assistance (CFDA) http://www.cfda.gov and Grants.gov http://www.grants.gov - these are two sites created by the federal government to provide transparency and information on grants. Browse through the listings and see if you can find any grant that would support a for-profit venture.\n\nEven if you buy books on "how to get grants" or list that supposedly has information on grants -- all of them are mere rehash of what CFDA has, albeit packaged differently. But still the info is the same - hardly any grants for your type of purpose.\n\nMost of the federal grants are given to specific target groups with specific requirements (e.g. minority business owners involved in transportation related contracts emanating from DOT - Grant#20.905 Disadvantaged Business Enterprises Short Term Lending Program \n\nGrants are also often given to non profit groups or organizations involved in training or other similar activities (grant 59.043 Women's Business Ownership Assistance that are given to those who will create women's business center that will train women entrepreneurs \n\nFor private grants, you may want to check the Foundation Center's Foundation Grants for Individuals Online. It's a subscription based website ($9.95 per month) but their opening blurb only says that the database is ideal for "students, artists, academic researchers, libraries and financial aid offices."

No...I don't think so. I think it's like with a man being president. If they appear weak, then others will view them as weak. If they appear strong, then others will view them as strong. For a woman president, she may have to put forth more effort than a man to appear stong, but it can be done.

Whatever state you are in, if you talk of grants, you go to the Catalog of Federal Domestic Assistance (CFDA) http://www.cfda.gov and Grants.gov http://www.grants.gov - these are two sites created by the federal government to provide transparency and information on grants. Browse through the listings and see if you can find any grant that would support your purposes.\n\nGo to CFDA --> Search by Beneficiary --> Housing\n\nEven if you buy books on "how to get grants" or list that supposedly has information on grants -- all of them are mere rehash of what CFDA has, albeit packaged differently.\n\nNote though that these grants generally support non-profit organizations, intermediary lending institutions, and state and local governments. Most of the federal grants are given to specific target groups with specific requirements (e.g. minority business owners involved in transportation related contracts emanating from DOT - Grant#20.905 Disadvantaged Business Enterprises Short Term Lending Program. Individuals especially for personal purposes are not eligible for federal grants. \n\nGrants are also often given to non profit groups or organizations involved in training or other similar activities (grant 59.043 Women's Business Ownership Assistance that are given to those who will create women's business center that will train women entrepreneurs \n\nThe government is NOT in the business of giving away free money for the sake of giving away money. Grants are free, but it means OBLIGATION. You will be obligated to do as the grant sets out to do. Grants have objectives, and your purpose must fit the objective of the grant.\n\nFor one, you have to write the grant application and the grant application is not a simple document - you have to explain how your purpose for applying for the grant fits well with the objectives set out by the grant. Grants have objectives, and the grant applications that best captures the grant's objectives are approved.\n\nThere there is a stringent review process through a committee composed of federal employees and selected experts in the field. You will compete with other applicants for the grant money, and this grant review committee will evaluate the merits of each proposal. Only those that they feel exemplifies the objective of the grant will be approved.\n\n\nhttp://www.cfda.gov\nhttp://www.grants.gov\nhttp://gtionline.fdncenter.org\nhttp://www.powerhomebiz.com/vol66/grants.htm\nhttp://www.sba.gov/expanding/grants.html
