Professions Fellowships; December 1, 2020
Agency
American
Association of University Women (AAUW)
Description
Established
in 1970 with a $25,000 grant from the Max C. Fleischmann Foundation, American
Association of University Women Selected Professions Fellowships are awarded to
women who intend to pursue a full-time course of study at an accredited U.S.
institution during the fellowship year in one of the designated degree programs
where women’s participation traditionally has been low.
Initially,
focused on opening doors for women in the male-dominated fields of law and
medicine, the program expanded its focus over time to include science and
technology. Today, Selected Professions Fellowships are awarded for the
following master’s programs: architecture, computer/information sciences,
engineering, and mathematics/statistics. Fellowships in the following degree
programs are restricted to women of color, who have been underrepresented in
these fields: master’s in business administration (applicants may apply for
second year of study only); law (applicants
may apply for third year of study only); and doctorate in medicine (applicants
may apply for third or fourth year of study only).
Grants
ranging between $5,000 and $18,000 will be awarded to individuals who identify
as a woman and who have achieved high standards of academic excellence and show
promise of distinction in their respective fields. Applicants must be a citizen
or permanent resident of the United States and be a full-time student at an
accredited U.S. institution during the fellowship year pursuing a course of
study in the U.S. Priority is given to women who do not already hold a master’s
or first professional degree.
