National fellowships and grants
For more than 60 years the members of our Branch have been raising funds to support higher education for women through our annual used book sale. Thanks to the efforts and generosity of our members and our community, we have established four endowed fellowships, which are awarded annually by AAUW.
Half of the proceeds from each year's book sale goes to AAUW to build our fifth endowment, the Ann Arbor Branch International Fellowship II. The other half is used to support women at higher education institutions locally.
