2024 Scholarship application period closed March 1, 2024.
The Tyler Branch of AAUW offers three types of high school scholarships. Eligible female students may apply for one of the following scholarships:
High School – graduating seniors from a Smith County public school. Students who have taken a “gap” year may also apply.
Tyler Junior College – graduating TJC sophomores continuing their education at a four-year college or university
Proven Scholar – to a woman student at TJC, Texas College, or the University of Texas at Tyler who has completed at least 30 hours of college-level work
Additionally, a branch member in good standing for at least three years may apply for the Dorothy Scott Scholarship of $1000 to continue her education, branch out into a new field, earn additional certification, or engage in another form of education to enrich her life.
