Endowed Scholarship

Having supported the Educational Foundation of AAUW on the national level for the first 100 years of its existence, AAUW Phoenix Branch was delighted, in September 2011, to add local scholarships to its educational goals. At this time a permanent Phoenix Branch AAUW endowment of $10,000 was funded through the Maricopa Community College Foundation giving the Phoenix Branch a permanent donor status. This endowment is to provide scholarships to young women pursuing an education at Phoenix College.  AAUW Phoenix Branch is listed on the interactive donor recognition wall at Hannelly Center at Phoenix College in the Leadership Society ($10,000-$49,999) section.

The criteria to apply for the endowed scholarship are:

  1. I plan to be a full time student with the majority of hours to be taken at Phoenix College.
  2. I am seeking a degree.
  3. I have completed more than 15 credit hours.
  4. I have a minimum 3.5 GPA.
  5. I am a U.S. resident.
  6. Through the details on my application, I have clearly demonstrated financial need.
  7. Preference is given to female students.
