International Project Grants

AAUW’s International Project Grants foster lasting impact by supporting International Fellowship alumnae who return to their home countries to lead community-based initiatives. These grants empower alumnae to apply their academic expertise and leadership skills to projects that advance gender equity and improve the lives of women and girls. 

From securing property rights for widows to establishing safe and dignified workspaces for cassava producers, alumnae-led initiatives address urgent and deeply rooted equity challenges. By providing targeted funding, AAUW enables alumnae to drive meaningful, locally grounded change — supporting vulnerable yet resilient communities and creating pathways toward greater opportunity and empowerment for women and girls.
