Welcome to AAUW – Manhattan, Kansas!

 

 

The Manhattan Branch offers scholarships through the Greater Manhattan Community Foundation to non-traditional women students attending Kansas State University. For the 2025-2026 academic year, the Branch is excited to be able to award up to four incentive grants. Each incentive grant will be for a minimum of $1,000. One incentive grant will be a $1,500 award due to a generous Trust donation given by former member Mavis Fletcher!

Candidates must be considered full-time according to K-State standards and have at least two complete semesters of credit remaining before graduation to qualify. Students taking courses solely through distance education are not eligible. Candidates must be returning to school after at least a three (3) year lapse in education, which does not have to be continuous. Applicants may have already returned to college after the time lapse.

AAUW Manhattan Branch

The AAUW Manhattan (KS) Branch is one of the five active branches in Kansas and was established in 1920. Our members are knowledgeable, interesting women of various ages and backgrounds joined together to promote the interests and provide support to women and girls in our growing, vibrant community.  We also thoroughly enjoy just being together!  As a university partner, K-State undergraduate and graduate students can further take advantage of AAUW’s programs and resources by taking advantages of the free e-affiliate membership by joining online.

Important goals for our local branch are:

    • Passionately uniting to promote the advancement and equity for women in education, career paths, pay, leadership, and economic and political opportunities.
    • Networking locally and nationally with women who support equal opportunities and advancement for women and girls.
    • Sustaining AAUW-Manhattan Branch heritage to the community by providing branch scholarships to K-State non-traditional female students.
    • Promoting AAUW National fellowships and grants to women scholars and community projects that benefit women and girls.
