If you are a woman and wish to pursue your studies in the United States, you should know that applications for AAUW’s international fellowships are now open.
The AAUW (American Association of University Women) International Fellowships have been available since 1917 and aim to support non-U.S. resident women in pursuing Master’s, Doctoral, or Postdoctoral studies, or conducting full-time research in the United States. This program offers a unique opportunity for those who wish to strengthen their skills before returning to their home country to pursue a professional career.
The American Association of University Women (AAUW) is a nonprofit organization founded in 1881. Its main mission is to promote gender equality in education and the workplace. AAUW supports women and girls through research programs, advocacy, and grants while working to eliminate barriers to equal opportunities.
