THE MARY ANDERSON MEMORIAL SCHOLARSHIP Each year, the Branch offers a scholarship to a local woman entering her junior or senior year of college. Criteria include academic performance, motivation, and an expressed commitment to women in the community and in the world. The Branch-sponsored Women's History Month Concert in March is the primary fundraiser for the Mary Anderson Memorial Scholarship. This award is named for Mary Anderson ( on right), lifetime branch member (d. 2002). |

AAUW is the world's largest source of fellowship funds exclusively for graduate women students. The scholarships support aspiring scholars around the world, teachers and activists in local communities, women at critical stages of their careers, and those pursuing professions where women are underrepresented.
The Taunton Branch supports AAUW's efforts to promote scholarship and equity for women through various fundraising activities, such as our Silent Auction in November, sale of Poinsettia plants in December and the yard sale in June. These funds support the Educational Fellowships, the Legal Advocacy Fund for women seeking judicial redress for sex discrimination, and scholarships for undergraduate students from the Taunton Branch area.
AAUW membership is open to any graduate holding an associate or equivalent,
baccalaureate, or higher degree from a qualified educational institution.
Students may become AAUW affiliate
members. We welcome a diverse membership.
