AAUW San Jose proudly supports hard-working women in completing a four-year degree —leading to wider career opportunities, future professional success, and greater economic stability.
- College costs have doubled over the past generation, while income has risen only 14%.
- Women graduate owing almost $22,000 in student debt, compared to $18,880 owed by men.
- Women take 2 years longer than men to repay student loans.
- Only 3.3% of nonprofit organizations focus on women and girls.
The scholarships are funded through grant writing, monetary donations, and an annual ‘Give the Gift of Education’ fundraising event.
For each $100 donation, the following prizes will be awarded in a drawing at our Holiday Party on December 14th.
