AAUW Capital (NV) began funding our Scholarship Program in 1944 by selling delicious Georgia pecans. Our Pecan Fundraiser has become an annual tradition for many members and local groups who eagerly look forward to these delectable treats!

Our branch provides local scholarships each year to college-bound high school seniors who are planning to attend an accredited College or University in Nevada. AAUW Capital is proud to collaborate with the Nevada Women’s Fund to administrate these scholarships.

AAUW Capital (NV) also funds a scholarship at Western Nevada College, awarded to a returning student who has been out of school for at least 2 years, previously having attended WNC or another college for at least one semester.
