Grants and Fellowships For Women

Grants and Fellowships for Women

Just found this out and wanted to share with my fellow sisters out there!

The American Association of University Women Educational Foundation has several wonderful funding programs and fellowships available to women and the best thing is that there's no income eligibility required. These programs are available to all women as long as they are U.S. citizens or permanent residents.  However, I did find one program that's available to non-US citizens, which I included at the end and that one is under International Fellowships.

Ok, let me go over a few of the programs available:

1.  Career Development Grants - ($2,000 to $8,000) for  who hold a bachelor's degree, these are for women in the early stages of graduate study OR women who are making a career change OR those who are re-entering the work force, OR  women looking to advance their chosen careers.

2.  Community Action Grants  - ($5,000 to $10,000)  these are two-year seed money grants available for programs or for non-degree research projects promoting the education and equity of girls and women.

3.   American Fellowships - ($6,000 and $30,000) for doctoral candidates who are completing dissertations, or students who are in need of  funds for post-doctoral research leave from accredited institutions.

4.   Eleanor Roosevelt Teacher Fellowships  - (up to $5,000) for women who are full-time Kindergarten through 12th grade teachers


5.  Selected Professions Fellowships -($5,000 to $12,000) given to women who are in several specialized degree programs which include: architecture, computer/information sciences, engineering, and mathematics/statistics (open to all women).  These degree programs are also available, but are only open to women of color:  business administration, law, and medicine.

6. International Fellowships - these are fellowships awarded for full-time study or research to women who non U.S. citizens who are selected for their academic achievement who have demonstrated commitment to betterment of women and girls who are at the graduate or postgraduate level at accredited institutions.  Women from 135 different countries have been awarded these fellowships.

You can go to the website and learn more about the programs and actually take a quiz at the site to see if you are eligible for any of the programs.  If you are you are, you can download an application, register and check on status.  They also have a list of past recipients of the awards in all the categories.

We're Adding Pleaser Shoes Soon

We are pleased to announce we will soon be adding many new products to inventory - the Pleaser Shoe Line -the entire line of Pleaser shoes.  Pleaserusa is the leader in sexy and alternative footwear in the industry and we've got them! Pleaser truly represents "fantasy" so they fit right in with us. These shoes are so special that they've graced many a cover of fashion magazines ,and have been seen in many movies and TV shows.

OK, so I'm going to explain a little about each type of shoe line by Pleaser we will carry. These shoes cater to specific niche markets and the discriminating shoe buyer, so if any of the styles sound like you, stay tuned and come back when we have them in stock. Our prices won't be beat!

Bordello Shoes --  For Women - Shoes and Boots - Think Burlesque - Performance - Old-Time Glamor - Bordello Shoes mainly designed for  performers, but some of these shoes are just so sexy and bold, I can see women and men - yes, you guys that are into the ladies shoes, anyway I can see anybody who is into bold - "Look At Me" type shoes wearing these. Now, even though these shoes and boots might be reserved more for performances, I could see wearing some of them in everyday life. Some styles even remind me of shoes I'd find way back in the closet of my grandmother's house with the beautiful bows on them, looking like she'd only worn them once.  Oh, how I admired the craftsmanship of those beauties.  Really, I think the Bordello line has something for everyone.

DEMONIA  -For Women and Men and some Unisex, Clothing, Boots, Handbags  - Think Goth, Cutting Edge, Alternative, Punk Rock, Rockabilly, Ballet Flats, Creepers, Mary Janes, Boots, Unisex

-- These are  a cutting-edge, beyond-the-ordinary line of footwear that were designed outside of the mainstream box, catering to the alternative, defiant, and nonconformist individual who seeks the ultimate form of self-expression.

Devious - For Women, High-Heel, Stiletto Shoes and Boots - Think Fetish, Dominatrix, Devious Shoes include: Shoes and Boots

Devious is a fetish footwear collection that satisfies the cravings of discerning connoisseurs. For those who live the fetish lifestyle or those who just wish to spice it up again, DEVIOUS offers a fierce line of footwear to "play" with. Not really for walking in, more for playing in.

Funtasma - For Women, Men and  Children  -- Think Shoes to Complete Costumes -  Halloween & Adult and Children Costumes.  However there are many styles that can be worn year 'round -- like classic pumps, slip on mules, oxfords, cowboy boots, leather boots, sandals, and more - just take a look -- Fun...Sexy...Playful

Fun in the name says it all!!!

Devilishly fun. Seductively sexy. Mischievously playful. This is what FUNTASMA costume footwear is all about! 

Lucious -- Think Sexy, Flamboyant, Instant Glamor, Clear Heels, Cork Heels, Platform, One-of-a-Kind

Lush, exotic and one-of-a-kind... 100% U.S. made, LUCIOUS footwear is the epitome of instant glamour. Be fierce in these sexy shoes -these are for the bold, who like to stand out in the crowd.  A favorite with dancers.

Pleaser -  For Women - Think superb craftsmanship, fine materials, innovative designs, at unbeatable prices - Pumps, Heels, Stilettos, Boots, Slippers, Platforms, Low Heels, Mid-Heels, Kitten Heels, Specialty, Slides, Oxfords - The Name Pleaser is Synonymous with Sexy  -gracing the cover of many a fashion magazine.

Our Philosophy On Plus-Sized Lingerie Pricing

OK, many of you who are lovely plus-sized or queen-sized angels, know that when you go shopping, not only for lingerie, but for any clothing, you'll usually have to pay more than those of us who are in the smaller ranged sizes. Not fair, is it?

I've never felt that this was right, and I'm sure those of you who have to pay the extra costs sure don't feel that it's right.  In fact, I know you don't, because I've heard from you!

To be honest, I didn't even know that larger people had to pay more until I started dating a larger gentlemen a few years ago and went clothes shopping for him. Excited to find the shirt that I wanted to buy him on sale, I was less excited when I found out that it would be $5.00 more just because of his size, a 2X.  As the sales lady was explaining this difference in price to me, because of by complaining, I was only half-listening to her and began slinging my way through rack after rack like madwoman, only to discover that all the plus-sizes were priced about $2.00 to $5.00 more for each article of clothing!

Needless to say, I was in shock!  I thought -"How dare they!"  However, now after owning my own  retail stores, I  now understand  -- how dare they!  You see, suppliers charge us more for the plus-size garments than they do for the regular size. So, unfortunately the costs get passed on to you, the plus-size consumer.

However, I don't like this (and neither do many of my customers and plus-sized friends) and even though it'll cost us a little more, Fantasy Angel will not be charging more for plus sizes. We're updating the website  and changing our prices to reflect our new policy. We're trying hard to accomplish this, but we've still got a ways to go. I promise we'll get there, give us another week or so.  There's 8,000 products to go through, so it's an enormous task, plus I have three jobs and kids who need me.  I'm trying.



Just wanted to let our customers know that we've heard you and we agree...

...So starting now, everyone will be paying the same price for the same item regardless of size!!!
