Description

The American Association of University Women (AAUW) has posted the online application for its American Fellowships program and other funding opportunities. The 2010-11 American Fellowships program offers three types of awards: Postdoctoral Research Leave Fellowships, Dissertation Fellowships, and Summer/Short-Term Research Publication Grants:

· Postdoctoral Research Leave Fellowships are for women who will have a doctoral degree by November 15, 2009.  Several $30,000 awards are available for women in the arts/humanities, social sciences, and natural sciences. 

· Dissertation Fellowships are for women who will finish writing between April 15, 2011 and June 30, 2011. Several $20,000 awards are available to women in all majors, particularly STEM and gender studies.  Applicants must have completed all course work, passed all preliminary examinations, and received approval for their research by November 15, 2009. 

· Summer/Short-Term Research Publication Grants are for college and university faculty and independent researchers to prepare for publication. Several $6,000 awards are available. Applicants must be available for eight consecutive weeks of final writing, editing, and responding to issues raised in critical reviews. Applicants must have received their doctorate by November 15, 2009.

American Fellowship applicants must be U.S. citizens or permanent residents. Applicants cannot apply for more than one American Fellowship and cannot be AAUW members. Applications are due November 15, 2009.

In addition to the American Fellowships program, AAUW offers several other awards for women researchers:

· International Fellowships are awarded for full-time study or research to women who are not U.S. citizens or permanent residents. Graduate and postgraduate study at accredited institutions is supported. Several awards will be made for Master's/Professional Fellowships ($18,000), Doctorate Fellowships ($20,000), and Postdoctoral Fellowships ($30,000). Fellowship recipients may study in any country other than their own. Applications are due December 1, 2009.

· Selected Professions Fellowships are awarded to women who intend to pursue a full-time course of graduate study at an accredited institution in one of the designated degree programs where women's participation traditionally has been underrepresented: architecture, computer/information sciences, engineering, or mathematics/statistics. In addition, fellowships are available for women of color seeking the M.B.A., J.D., M.D., or D.O. Applicants must be U.S. citizens or permanent residents. The award range is $5,000 to $18,000.  Applications are due January 10, 2010.
