Through its fund-raising activities, our Branch gives scholarships to non-traditional women students who attend Howard Community College and are continuing their education in mostly Science, Technology, and Engineering or Math (STEM) fields to work towards a degree.  These women are often single moms supporting their children or parents through working one or more jobs while attending HCC.

Other scholarships are given to potential women leaders, who attend The National Conference for College Women Student Leaders (NCCWSL)  held at the University of Maryland in College Park, MD.

Through these efforts, the branch also makes donations to organizations like the AAUW National’s Legal Advocacy Fund and Maryland Women of Distinction Fund.
