Leading and Learning
From scholarships to salary negotiation, AAUW offers many benefits and opportunities for everyone at your college or university.
Join us so that you and your campus can:
Access research funding.
There are a variety of educational funding sources available to women students, including:
- AAUW fellowships and grants — including summer/short-term grants — which provide funding for research projects or degree programs.
- Local scholarships to undergraduate and graduate women through AAUW branches.
- Scholarships to attend the National Conference for College Women Student Leaders (NCCWSL).
Step up as leaders.
When you serve in one of two college/university (C/U) representative roles at your school, you receive free AAUW membership and so much more.
For example, you can:
- Serve as a panelist for AAUW’s fellow and grantee selection or on a national AAUW committee or become a facilitator for our Work Smart salary-negotiation program.
- Submit a workshop proposal for the nation’s premiere conference for student leaders — the National Conference for College Women Student Leaders (NCCWSL) — and attend sessions designed for campus professionals.
- Join your local AAUW branch.
Students who want to grow professionally can:
- Attend the annual NCCWSL leadership conference that empowers women leaders from across the globe.
- Bring an AAUW Start Smart salary negotiation workshop to your campus to teach college women about negotiating salaries and benefits in their first jobs.
Strengthen your network.
Become part of a global community of members, supporters, college/university member schools and local AAUW branches across the country.
You can also:
- Attend the annual National Conference for College Women Student Leaders or participate at a discount.
- Spread the word about AAUW. Undergraduates or degree-seeking graduates at non-AAUW college/university member institutions may join and renew at the student rate of $18.81 through graduation.
- Membership is FREE for students attending AAUW college/university member institutions, and staff/faculty membership is at the national rate of $72.
