Who Can Apply
AUW is a diverse community comprised of students, faculty, and staff members from a wide range of economic, cultural, locational (rural/urban), ethnic, and religious backgrounds. The university is required under its Charter to make reasonable efforts to recruit up to 25% of the student body from Bangladesh, but it is otherwise committed to bringing together young women from the entire region – primarily South, Southeast, and West Asia – and to create an environment designed to help them explore their similarities and differences in an atmosphere of mutual respect.
