Educational Foundation & Local Scholarships
2008-2009 Scholarship Applications were due April 1. |
AAUW's Educational Foundation provides funds to advance education, research & self-development of women and to foster equity & positive societal change.
To support the mission of the Educational Foundation, the Lombard Area Branch raises funds for the Foundation and local scholarships with an annual Used Book Sale. 60% of the money raised during this sale is given to the national Educational Foundation to fund grants, research, and other Foundation work. The remaining 40% is used to award four scholarships to women in the Lombard area.
Our branch awards up to two "Return to Learning" scholarships -- scholarships to qualified women continuing higher education after a significant interruption:
- One awarded to a qualified woman pursuing a bachelor's degree
- One awarded to a qualified woman pursuing a graduate degree
The other two are given to local high school students -- one to a Glenbard East High School senior and one to a Willowbrook High School senior. Each high school chooses one recipient.
