An endowment fund at the University of Texas was established with our first contribution of $1,100 in 1934. Contributions were made to this fund over a period of years, until the endowment reached sufficient size to support awarding of annual fellowships. Mildred Englert is the branch member whose donation completed the endowment. The Austin Branch has awarded graduate fellowships yearly since 1985 to women who are doctoral candidates at The University of Texas at Austin. Beginning with the 1985-1986 academic year, ninety (90) women have received fellowships from our branch, to financially assist them in completing the final year of their doctoral studies.
AAUW Austin Branch will award a minimum of 3 fellowships this year, each in the amount of at least $2,000 to female doctoral candidates at the University of Texas – Austin. Deadline for submission: 5:00 PM CST on Monday, March 22, 2021. Announcement of awards will be made by April 19, 2021.
