Clarine Radt Mini-Grants

Clarine Radt Mini-Grants are intended to assist AAUW Buffalo Branch members* who wish to enhance their professional skills and/or careers.

We especially encourage requests for programs related to science, technology, engineering, and mathematics (STEM) fields and career pathways, leadership development training, as well as training to expand or deepen skill sets in ways that benefit the member’s association with AAUW Buffalo.

Grants of up to $500 per person per year (July–June) may be used to fund attendance at short-term formal programs such as conferences and seminars. While we encourage members to consider local conferences, seminars, and leadership training opportunities, members are expected to use professional judgment in selecting the program that best meets their needs.

How to Apply

Submit your request 6–8 weeks before the program by email to scholarship@AAUWBuffalo.org.
Include the following:

• A description of the program and its sponsor.
• How the program will enhance your professional development
  and support the AAUW priorities described above.
• An estimate of attendance costs, including registration
  fees, travel expenses, and other related costs.
• The dates and location of the program.

Reimbursement

If approved, the mini-grant will be disbursed upon submission of proof of attendance, receipts, and an itemization of expenses. Proof may include a certificate of attendance, a letter from the sponsoring organization, or a program listing attendees.

Copies should be submitted by email to both the Clarine Radt Mini-Grant coordinator and the Fundraising/Scholarship Treasurer.

*All members of the Buffalo Branch, men as well as women, and Friends of the Branch, may apply.

Questions may be addressed to Scholarship Director Mary Bashore.
