Welcome to the Hilo Branch of the American Association of University Women (AAUW). The purpose of AAUW is to advance equity for women and girls through advocacy, education, philanthropy and research. AAUW Hilo Branch promotes equity, education and development of opportunities for women and girls through its Scholarship Program, ongoing partnership with the University of Hawaii at Hilo and the Hawaii Community College, and participation in the AAUW Hawaii State Policy Committee. Members engage in general meetings which include presentations on local issues for women and girls, book clubs which lead to important local and national discussions, and teas, luncheons and dinners which bring us together for special occasions.
If you would like to be considered for a scholarship, please review Scholarship Applications. Our current and prior Scholarship Recipients are described here.
