American Association of University Women Educational Foundation Fellowships

Since 1881 the American Association of University Women has been the nation's leading voice promoting education and equity for women and girls. The AAUW Educational Foundation offers two grants/fellowships that are applicable to current and recent Stanford students: the Community Action Grant and the Selected Professions Fellowship.

Community Action Grants provide seed money to individual women, AAUW branches and AAUW state organizations, as well as local community-based nonprofit organizations for innovative programs or non-degree research projects that promote education and equity for women and girls. Applicants must be U.S citizens or permanent residents.

Selected Professions Fellowships are awarded to women who are U.S. citizens or permanent residents and who intend to pursue a full-time course of study (during the fellowship year) in designated degree programs where women's participation traditionally has been low.
