At a glance

AAUW's American Doctoral Fellowship is part of its flagship American Fellowship initiative, established in 1888 as the oldest non-institutional source of graduate funding for women in the United States. The fellowship carries a $25,000 stipend, disbursed in two equal payments at the start and midpoint of the fellowship term, to offset expenses during one year of a doctoral program. It is open to women in all fields of study, though those in STEM fields or researching gender issues are especially encouraged to apply.

Who can apply

  • Applicant must identify as a woman.
  • Must be pursuing their first doctoral degree, beginning their program on or before 30 September 2027.
  • Must be enrolled full-time in program courses or completing dissertation writing on a full-time basis.
  • Must be enrolled at a US Department of Education-accredited institution, or an international institution eligible for U.S. federal student aid.
  • Must be a U.S. citizen, national, or permanent resident (50 states, DC, Puerto Rico, Guam, U.S. Virgin Islands, American Samoa, Northern Mariana Islands, or other U.S. territory).
