American Association of University Women Fellowships--Applications Open

The application period for the AAUW's Fellowships is now open, with a deadline of November 15, 2013, in hard copy format. There are three programs:

Dissertation Fellowships -- $20,000
Postdoctoral Research Leave Fellowships -- $30,000
Summer/Short-Term Research Publication Grant -- $6000

Applications are limited to women, and the AAUW is "the oldest non-institutional source of graduate funding for women in the United States." I strongly encourage all eligible applicants to apply. The application instructions are at http://www.act.org/aauw/pdf/AAUW-AF-Instructions.pdf

The overall program page is at  http://www.aauw.org/what-we-do/educational-funding-and-awards/american-fellowships/american-fellowship-application/

Please let the Research Office know as soon as possible if you plan to pursue this opportunity. Our office will assist in assembling applications, and since these are hard-copy submissions, we'd like to have the materials to us by November 1.
