The Play: Helen's Most Favorite Day

================

50 year anniversary for the Foundation! The AAUW Education Foundation funds women scholars and projects that change the lives of women as AAUW has been doing so for more than a century. EF funds give proven scholars the opportunity to reach for the stars in post graduate studies.

For instance, the foundation provided the funds to 1) start up Tech Trek, 2) communicate information about Postpartum Depression, and 3) provide first books on Choices for young people.

Funded by EF, research on equality in the classroom and sexual harassment in the workplace/classroom has also provided a base for legislation and has impacted human resource policies.

Funds raised by our local EF committee go towards an International Fellowship. These funds help women from developing countries come to the United States to do graduate work.
