The American Association of University Women (AAUW) is seeking applications for its program entitled “International Project Grants” in order to provide fellows with the opportunity to develop knowledge and skills that will directly benefit their home countries.
To support the continuation of fellows’ work after they return home, AAUW awards a limited number of International Project Grants to International Fellows who have successfully completed the course of study for which they received an AAUW International Fellowship.
The grants support community-based projects that benefit women and girls in the fellow’s home country.
