The American Association of University Women's Selected Professions Fellowship aims to support women in graduate and professional degree programs in fields where female participation traditionally has been low. Women in master's level degrees in architecture, computer/information science, engineering, and math/statistics are eligible for funding in any year of study. Women in business administration may apply for second year of study only; women in law may apply for third year of study only; and women in medicine may apply for third or fourth year of study only. Applications for these three fields are open only to women from ethnic minority groups historically underrepresented in certain fields within the United States.
Deadline: December
Value: $20,000
Eligibility: Applicants must be citizens or permanent residents of the United States who have achieved high standards of academic excellence and show promise of distinction in their respective fields. Applicants must be full-time students at an accredited U.S. institution during the fellowship year, and should be pursuing a course of study in the United States over the full academic year. Priority is given to women who do not already hold a master’s or first professional degree. Selected Professions Fellowships are not open to previous recipients of any AAUW national fellowship or grant (not including branch or local awards or Community Action Grants).
