AAUW OFFERS LAURA FUOSS MEMORIAL GRANT
Every spring, the members of the Morton Branch of American Association of University Women (AAUW) take time to remember a chartered member and, for many, a dear friend, as they review applications for The Laura Fuoss Memorial Grant. Laura Fuoss was a charter member of the Morton AAUW branch in 1975 and served on the board, in various positions, including President, until her death from cancer in November of 1983.
Since its inception in 1978, the scholarship has been awarded to women pursuing degrees in the fields of Law, Medicine, Business, Psychology, Education, Nursing, Veterinary Medicine and Music, to name just a few.
The Laura Fuoss Memorial Grant of $1000 is available to a woman who is a current resident of the Morton School District, employed in Morton, a graduate of Morton High School, or a Morton AAUW Branch member.
Applicants must have attained a bachelor’s degree and be entering or presently enrolled and in good academic standing in a graduate degree program or advanced certification program at an accredited university. Applications are available at the Morton Public Library, 315 Pershing, Morton, Il, or online. The deadline for applications is May 1, 2024.
