For almost 130 years, AAUW has been opening the doors of higher education and providing opportunities for women through its fellowship and grant programs. This year, AAUW has awarded $3.2 million in support of 215 remarkable scholars, research projects, and programs promoting education and equity for women and girls.

We are thrilled to launch the latest Directory of Fellowship and Grant Recipients We invite you to check out all the women and projects that AAUW is supporting during the 2010–11 academic year, women like Natalie Dawson, who received an American Fellowship to help her publish her research on biological diversity of western North American mammals. Or like Career Development Grant recipient Shariffa Sabrie, who is pursuing a master’s degree in educational administration so that she can improve the lives of refugee women and their children. Or Vivian Nixon, who is leading a Community Action Grant project on behalf of College and Community Fellowship to provide academic and financial aid counseling to previously incarcerated women who are now pursuing college degrees.
