The American Association of University Women (AAUW) is a prominent organization that has been advocating for education and equity for women and girls since its establishment in 1881. With a vast network of over 170,000 members and supporters, 1,000 branches, and 800 college and university partners, AAUW remains at the forefront of promoting women's rights. Through its foundation, AAUW Funds, the organization provides support for various initiatives such as Tech Trek, research, community projects, fellowships, and grants for outstanding women and girls. Additionally, AAUW's Legal Advocacy programs offer assistance to women seeking justice for sex discrimination in the workplace. The Berkeley Branch of AAUW, originally known as the East Bay Branch, has been actively involved in advancing the mission of AAUW since its charter in 1923. Aligned with the organization's goals, the Berkeley Branch offers scholarship funds to undergraduate non-transfer, undergraduate transfer, and graduate students. Collaborating with the College Women's Club, these scholarships specifically aid students transferring from Berkeley City College to UC Berkeley, as well as undergraduate and graduate students at UC Berkeley. AAUW Berkeley also organizes events and programs, such as book readings and discussions, to promote awareness and engagement in issues related to women's rights and civil rights activism.Generated from the website
