If you go to that site, you'll be able to find links to other scholarships available (and not just for women).
If you'd rather not click to the site, below is the article in full.
Words of advice: For women, do check out the list of schools where Forté Foundation funding is available. These are grants that are exclusively available to women. I got one of these myself, though I'm not exactly sure how my school allocates them - the donor I wrote my thank-you letter to was not the Forté Foundation.

The disproportionately small number of women in leadership roles globally is one of the major challenges for the world’s top business schools, given their essential role in producing the world’s future leaders. However, boardroom imbalance is reflected in business school cohorts, with the vast majority of the world’s business schools still a long way from achieving a 50/50 balance.
Many top schools are moving to address the issue. One key way of doing this is through the provision of merit-based MBA scholarships for women, to encourage exceptional female candidates to enroll on MBA programs and gain the leadership skills they need to advance in the world of business.
This is by no means a comprehensive list of schools offering MBA scholarships for women – indeed, it is only intended to serve a snapshot. Check school websites for details of what MBA scholarships for women are available at schools in which you are interested (see a full list of schools at which Forté Foundation funding is available).
The following schools offer need and/or merit-based scholarships to all or specific demographics of candidates that are open to male and female candidates which may also be appropriate to your needs. The following list looks only at scholarships available exclusively to women.
