DEAR APPLICANT:
We are delighted to know that you are applying for a scholarship (for academic year 2021-2022)
from the American Association of University Women, which promotes equity for all
women of all ages, lifelong education and societal change. Education is extremely important to AAUW.
AAUW raises money throughout the year to provide scholarship funds.
Please keep this letter as part of your scholarship file. We award both Regular (students at NPC)

Our Scholarship Selection Committee (SSC) will schedule personal interviews with qualified,
selected Applicants. They will be held on campus at NPC, probably in April with each lasting about 30
minutes. Participation in the interview is mandatory in order to be considered. In the event the current
health crisis demands, interviews will be conducted by conference call or Zoom call.
If you are selected to receive one of our scholarships: Your current semester grades and hours
will be obtained from the Financial Aid department and will be reviewed by the SSC; and, since our
awards are for the entire academic year, your Fall semester grades and hours will be reviewed and
confirmed before the Spring semester scholarship award is provided.
Scholarship awards will be announced in mid-June. Recipients will be notified by email and
regular postal delivery mail. Please Note: If you have any change in address, email, telephone numbers,
notify me with that information.
Sincerely,
