American Association of University Women (AAUW) Scholarship

Since 1993, the AAUW Monona/Madison Branch has supported single-parent students through the Single Parent Scholarship Fund. The Returning Adult Student Award also benefits from donations in memory of national AAUW founding mothers Annie D. Swenson, the branch’s first president (1909), and Lois Mathews Rosenberry, UW–Madison’s dean of women and history professor (1911–1918).

These scholarships support single parents pursuing an undergraduate degree at UW-Madison.

Eligibility Criteria:

• Demonstrated financial need
• Head of household status
• U.S. citizen, permanent resident, asylee, or eligible non-citizen

To be considered for this scholarship, submit an application through the ‘Scholarships for Nontraditional, Adult, & Single Parent Students’ opportunity. Up to 14 individual scholarships are associated with this application and are administered by the Division of Continuing Studies.
