American Dissertation Fellowships

Dissertation Fellowships provide a $20,000 stipend to women who will be in their final phase of dissertation write up during the fellowship year. Applicants must be ABD, and have received approval for their research proposals. The competition is open to applicants in all fields of study.

International Fellowships

International Fellowships award for full-time study or research to women who are not U.S. citizens or permanent residents. Fellowships support graduate or postgraduate studies at accredited institutions. Recipients are selected for academic achievement and commitment to women and girls.

Selected Professions Fellowships

This fellowship supports women who intend to pursue full-time study at accredited institutions in one of the designated degree programs where women’s participation traditionally has been low. The fellowship is for master’s level degree programs only, and does not support doctoral studies.

Career Development Grant

The AAUW Career Development Grant (up to $12,000) is for women who, through additional higher education, technical training, or participation in professional development institutes, are making career changes, seeking to advance in current careers, or re‐entering the workforce.
