The American Association of University Women Selected Professions Fellowships support women who are pursuing their first master's or professional degree in fields with historically low female participation, particularly in STEM (science, technology, engineering, and mathematics) and Medicine disciplines, at accredited institutions. Applicants must be pursuing a program at an institution recognized as accredited by the U.S. Department of Education, or an international institution recognized as eligible to participate in U.S. federal student aid programs, as listed on the Federal Student Aid Participating Schools list. Applicants must have an academic degree (earned in the U.S. or abroad) that is equivalent to a U.S. bachelor's degree at the time of application. Applicants enrolled in a joint-degree program may apply for support if they plan to pursue full-time coursework during the entire fellowship year in one of the approved degree programs above. Coursework in other fields, even if part of a joint-degree program, is not supported. Applicants must apply for a fellowship in a single specific discipline. Applicants must not already hold a master's or professional degree. Applicants must submit two letters of recommendation from advisors, professors, colleagues, or others who are academically or professionally familiar with the applicant, their work, professional qualifications, and academic background. Recommenders are encouraged to evaluate the applicant in relation to the fellowship selection criteria and support this assessment with specific examples. Please visit the fellowship's website or contact the American Association of University Women for more information.
