Career Development Grants are financial awards that provide support to women who are pursuing additional education, training, or certifications in order to advance their careers. These grants are awarded by the American Association of University Women (AAUW), which is a nonprofit organization that promotes gender equity and education for women and girls.
Grants for career development are one-time only. Career Development Grants cannot be handled by an academic institution or company where the applicant is working because they are direct financial aid to the applicant.
The Career Development Grants are intended to support women who have completed their undergraduate degree and are looking to enhance their careers or change career paths. The grants can be used to cover a variety of expenses related to career development, such as tuition, fees, books, supplies, and transportation.
The amount of the grant varies each year and can range from a few hundred dollars to several thousand dollars. Recipients of the grant are selected based on a variety of factors, including their academic and professional achievements, their potential for success in their chosen field, and their overall commitment to advancing their careers.
