The American Association of University Women is offering fellowships to women who intend to pursue a full-time course of study in mathematics/statistics, computer/information sciences, engineering, or architecture at an accredited US institution.
These fellowships were established in 1970 with a $25,000 grant from the Max C. Fleischmann Foundation. Initially, they focused on opening doors for women in the male-dominated fields of law and medicine. However, the focus expanded over time to include science and technology, since the demand for a technologically skilled workforce has grown without proportional representation by women.
The deadline for fellowship applications is December 1.
