Meet Our Fellowship and Grant Recipients

November 14, 2017

AAUW has a long and distinguished history of advancing educational and professional opportunities for women in the United States and around the globe. As one of the world’s largest sources of funding for graduate women, AAUW is providing more than $3.7 million in fellowships and grants in the 2016-17 academic year alone.

Therefore, each year AAUW California is especially delighted to formally present our Fellowship and Grant recipients at the Fall Fund Luncheons. Thanks to the longstanding, generous contributions of AAUW California members, a broader community of women continues gaining access to educational and economic opportunities, breaking through educational and economic barriers so that all women and girls have a fair chance.
