Graduate, post-graduate, and professional ladies will be interested in the various large and small fellowship and grant opportunities offered by the American Association of University Women, which aims to advance equity for women and girls through advocacy, education, philanthropy, and research.
Fellowships and grants include American Fellowships to support women doctoral candidates, particularly those completing their dissertations, doing postdoctoral research leaves, or working on research in the short-term for publication. There are also Career Development grants for BA graduates, Community Action grants for non-profit organizations and non-degree-based research projects, and International Fellowships for full-time women researchers who are not US citizens or permanent residents.
