AAUW in Farmers Branch/Carrollton
Members enjoy the opportunity to meet other professional women in our regular meetings and social gatherings geared toward their special interests. We meet at various locations in the Farmers Branch, Carrollton, and Addison areas at 6:00 p.m. on the third Monday of the Month unless otherwise announced in our program calendar.
Our Purpose
AAUW is dedicated to education and with this as our primary focus, we offer annual collegiate scholarships through our Continuing Education Scholarship program. We also contribute to the Educational Foundation, which supports graduate students and funds national research studies. We sponsor young women who participate in Expanding Your Horizons, a science and math conference for 7th and 8th grade girls to encourage them to consider careers in math, science or technology. Farmers Branch-Carrollton AAUW accomplishes its mission through involvement in community action programs by
- Promoting lifelong education
