Eligibility

American Association of University Women International Project Grants, with an application deadline in June, offers numerous awards of $10000 each.

Description

When AAUW International Fellows pursue education in the United States, their commitment to empowering women and girls in their home countries doesn't end and neither does their need for financial support. To create lasting support around the globe, AAUW awards grants to International Fellowship alumnae who have returned home after successfully completing the course of study for which they received funding. These grants allow alumnae to build on their academic work and implement community-based projects that will improve the lives of women and girls. The applicant must have successfully completed an AAUW International Fellowship, all reporting requirements for the fellowship, and the academic program for which they received the fellowship. The applicant must have citizenship in a country other than the United States. Women holding dual citizenship in the U.S. and another country or who are permanent residents of the U.S., or who pursue either of those during the grant year are not eligible. The project must be implemented in the applicant's home country and have a direct, positive impact on women and girls. The applicant must be the primary director of the project and be responsible for the project, with control over programmatic, administrative, fiscal and editorial decisions. Two recommendations are required. They must be from an organization or individual in the applicant's community who can attest to the applicant's qualifications and ability to carry out the project as proposed and from a colleague who is well acquainted with the applicant's current academic and/or professional work.
