2021 Career Development Grants - Fully funded

Call for applications for 2021 Career Development Grants - Fully Funded. The deadline for the 2021 - Fully Funded Career Development Grants is November 15, 2021.

Career Development Grants provide funding to women who hold a bachelor's degree and are preparing to advance or change careers or re-enter the workforce in the fields of education, health and medical sciences or social sciences. Special attention is given to women of color and women pursuing their first graduate degree or degrees in non-traditional fields.

AAUW originally designed Career Development Grants in 1972 to provide "incentive" funding to AAUW members seeking to renew or resume their academic work for credit toward career or professional advancement.

Today, grants support coursework beyond a bachelor's degree, including a master's degree, a second bachelor's degree, a certification program or specialized training in technical or vocational fields. Courses must be taken at an accredited two- or four-year college or university in the U.S., or at a technical school fully accredited or accredited by the U.S. Department of Education. Funds are not available for doctoral-level work.
