AAUW Austin Branch
Fellowships for Female Doctoral Candidates
The University of Texas at Austin
2011-2012 Academic Year
In 1934, AAUW Austin Branch established an endowment fund to provide fellowships to female doctoral candidates at The University of Texas at Austin. Contributions were made to this fund over a period of years, until the endowment reached sufficient size to support awarding of annual fellowships. Beginning with the 1985-1986 academic year, sixty-four women (64) have received fellowships from our branch, to financially assist them in completing the final year of their doctoral studies.
For the 2011-2012 academic year, AAUW Austin Branch will award 1-3 fellowships, each in the amount of at least $2000, to female doctoral candidates at The University of Texas at Austin. The only eligibility requirements are (1) formal admission to doctoral candidacy at The University of Texas at Austin, and (2) cumulative graduate school grade point average of 3.5 or better. Women pursuing doctoral studies in all fields are encouraged to apply. Both USA citizens and non-citizens are eligible.
Detailed information regarding eligibility, selection criteria, and the application and selection procedure are in the Information and Instructions (PDF).
