AAUW Minneapolis Branch Scholarships
Scholarship Sponsored by American Association of University Women Inc
Annually, the Scholarship Fund of the Minneapolis Branch of AAUW offers four, four-year scholarships to young women graduating from any Minneapolis Public High School with a GPA of at least 3.0, a documented financial need, and with the goal of attaining a Baccalaureate degree at an accredited institution. Applicants should show demonstrated ability in college-level coursework (i.e. IB, AP, PSEO, CIS, etc.).
In 2024, scholarship recipients will receive $4,000 annually. If the scholar is a student in good academic standing at her college or university, the scholarship will be renewed each of the following three years. The maximum that each scholar could receive is $16,000 over 4 years.
All members of the Scholarship Board read each application to determine the finalists who will be interviewed. The selection criteria are based on grades, financial need, an essay written by the applicant, information from references, and an interview. Finalists are interviewed in late March or early April by three board members. The recipients are notified no later than May 1. Scholarship recipients will have an AAUW mentor assigned to them.
