Each May, Aurora AAUW awards at least one $1,000 scholarship to an Aurora resident for their junior or senior year at a Colorado college or university with a minimum 3.0 GPA. Because of the generosity of our members and community, we often award more than one scholarship for $2,000. All scholarship winners are awarded student membership in AAUW. This year we awarded three $2000 scholarships.
Our Local Scholarship is supported by a fall fundraiser. Additionally, friends and family have donated to the scholarship in honor of long time AAUW members who have passed.
