AAUW Fellowships and Grants*
2003-2004

A catalyst for advancing women's educational and career opportunities, the American Association of University Women Educational Foundation distributed $4 million in fellowships, grants and awards for the 2002-2003 academic year. More than a century after the first grant was presented, the Foundation has helped approximately 8,000 women form more than 120 nations pursue their personal and professional goals.

To qualify for a fellowship or grant, applicants must demonstrate scholarly or professional excellence as described in the program criteria. Preference is given to women whose civic, community, or professional work shows a commitment to advancing the lives of women and girls. In 2002-2003, nearly 300 outstanding women received Foundation funding. Thirty percent of those (not including International Fellows) were women of color. The Foundation strongly encourages women from all underrepresented groups to apply.
