The American Association of University Women Career Development Grants champion gender equity in education and workplaces by investing in women pursuing a certificate, credential, or training program needed to enter, transition into, or advance within high-demand STEM fields in which they are underrepresented. Grants fund short-term, accredited programs. AAUW also welcomes applications from women currently employed in high-demand STEM fields who seek executive-level or leadership development training to advance into decision-making roles. Applicants must pursue an accredited certificate, credential or training program with a minimum of 400 instructional hours, in a high-growth STEM field, where women are underrepresented. This includes areas of science, technology, engineering and mathematics that show strong labor market demand and ongoing gender disparities in participation or leadership. Examples of eligible fields include but are not limited to: Architecture, Engineering, Mathematics, Natural and Physical Science, and Technology. Programs must be offered by accredited or licensed institutions and lead to professional advancement or employment in the applicant's chosen field. Applicants must hold a bachelor's degree. Applicants whose accredited certificate, credential or training programs directly prepare them for industry-recognized certification may receive priority consideration, depending on the strength of their application and alignment with program goals. Applicants must demonstrate a clear and purposeful trajectory toward or within a career in a high-growth STEM field where women are underrepresented. Traditional academic achievements are welcome but are not required. Applicants must also demonstrate a commitment to helping women and girls through service in their communities or professions. Preference will be given to applicants who have demonstrated resilience in overcoming life challenges beyond their control, such as socioeconomic status, discrimination, limited academic resources or opportunities or other adverse circumstances. Preference will also be given to applicants who hail from single parent households. Applications are reviewed and awarded annually on a competitive, rolling basis. There are three application deadlines: September 30, 2025; December 31, 2025; and March 31, 2026. Please visit the grant's website or contact the American Association of University Women for more information.
