Doris Karlik Local Scholarships

Scholarship Sponsored by American Association of University Women Inc

Equity and equal opportunity for women and girls are central to AAUW’s mission, both nationally and in our branch. Through our branch’s Charitable Foundation, we fund the Doris Karlik Local Scholarships for Palm Beach County women who are completing their education, and we sponsor a student to attend AAUW’s  annual National Conference of College Women Student Leaders, held in Maryland.

The Doris Karlik Scholarship for Women ranges from $500 to $1,000.
