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 awards support undergraduate students who are single parents pursuing an undergraduate degree.

Eligibility Criteria:

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

The application for this award is to be submitted through the ‘Scholarships for Nontraditional, Adult, & Single Parent Students’ opportunity. There are up to 14 individual scholarships associated with this one application, administered by the Division of Continuing Studies.
