The American Association of University Women advances equity for Women and girls through advocacy, education, research, and philanthropy. AAUW was founded in 1881 and is headquartered in Washington, D.C. The local Chico Branch AAUW was founded in 1920. In addition to supporting future teachers, the Chico Branch AAUW supports the Tech Trek Program, an all-scholarship, all volunteer, science and math camp program for local girls entering the 8th grade – designed to increase the number of women in STEM careers.

It is the hope of the AAUW that the recipient of this scholarship will attend one of their events throughout their award year.
