The Amador Branch of The American Association of University Women is offering $10,000 in college scholarships to local women in 2015. The purpose of the AAUW Scholarship Program is to support Amador County women who are currently working towards a Bachelor’s or Graduate degree, or plan to attend a California Community College.

Four $1,000 Community College Scholarships will be awarded to Amador County residents on the basis of personal and career goals, grade point average, and a personal interview. High school seniors and women who are pursing vocational training or changing careers are encouraged to apply.

And for the year 2015, we will be awarding an additional $2,000 Scholarship for a student focusing in the Sciences in the memory of Dr. Stephen Honeychurch, a local retired physician, and long time supporter and friend of our AAUW Amador Chapter.

Applications may be obtained online at www.amador-ca.aauw.net, at the local high schools, and from the Amador County Libraries.

All scholarship applications must be postmarked by March 15, 2015, and cannot be returned.

The Amador Branch of AAUW raises money for these scholarships through its annual Home Tour, which will be held on April 18, 2015. The American Association of University Women seeks to promote educational and employment equity for girls and women through its scholarship program.
