Just found this out and wanted to share with my fellow sisters out there!
The American Association of University Women Educational Foundation has several wonderful funding programs and fellowships available to women and the best thing is that there's no income eligibility required. These programs are available to all women as long as they are U.S. citizens or permanent residents. However, I did find one program that's available to non-US citizens, which I included at the end and that one is under International Fellowships.
Ok, let me go over a few of the programs available:
1. Career Development Grants - ($2,000 to $8,000) for who hold a bachelor's degree, these are for women in the early stages of graduate study OR women who are making a career change OR those who are re-entering the work force, OR women looking to advance their chosen careers.
2. Community Action Grants - ($5,000 to $10,000) these are two-year seed money grants available for programs or for non-degree research projects promoting the education and equity of girls and women.
3. American Fellowships - ($6,000 and $30,000) for doctoral candidates who are completing dissertations, or students who are in need of funds for post-doctoral research leave from accredited institutions.
4. Eleanor Roosevelt Teacher Fellowships - (up to $5,000) for women who are full-time Kindergarten through 12th grade teachers
5. Selected Professions Fellowships -($5,000 to $12,000) given to women who are in several specialized degree programs which include: architecture, computer/information sciences, engineering, and mathematics/statistics (open to all women). These degree programs are also available, but are only open to women of color: business administration, law, and medicine.
6. International Fellowships - these are fellowships awarded for full-time study or research to women who non U.S. citizens who are selected for their academic achievement who have demonstrated commitment to betterment of women and girls who are at the graduate or postgraduate level at accredited institutions. Women from 135 different countries have been awarded these fellowships.
You can go to the website and learn more about the programs and actually take a quiz at the site to see if you are eligible for any of the programs. If you are you are, you can download an application, register and check on status. They also have a list of past recipients of the awards in all the categories.
Some of the deadlines for a few of the programs are approaching soon, so if you are interested in any of them, go check them out soon.
