AAUW Selected Professions Fellowships provide $20,000 to women pursuing their first full-time master's or professional degree in fields where women's participation has historically been low, including all major engineering disciplines, computer and information sciences, mathematics and statistics, the natural and physical sciences, architecture, and medicine.
Applicants must be U.S. citizens or permanent residents, must not already hold a master's or professional degree, and must be enrolled full-time in an eligible program at an accredited U.S. institution for the entire fellowship year. Selection weighs academic excellence, well-defined STEM career goals, and commitment to supporting women and girls; preference goes to applicants who have overcome adversity or are first-generation graduates.
