Investing in women's education is the best way to create a positive impact across the world.
We welcome you to make a difference by contributing to AUW and helping to cultivate successive generations of professional and civic-minded women leaders for the world’s developing nations.
I strongly believe that liberal education that enables women to learn the art of critical thinking and develops the imagination is a powerful way – possibly the most powerful way – to foster women’s autonomy.
Nancy Dye, Former President, Oberlin College
Beginning this academic year, all Access Academy students are the first in their family to ever receive higher education. By admitting only first-generation university entrants, AUW aims to break the cycle of poverty and social exclusion especially endemic in the rural areas.
We are grateful to the Goldman Sachs Foundation and to the William and Flora Hewlett Foundation for being the co-sponsors of the Access Academy. Their generosity, and the generosity of many others, allows us to reach out to the bright young women whose potential would otherwise have been lost.
Help us to provide the very best education to these outstanding young women!
