Leadership Programs
Nationally AAUW prioritizes identifying barriers to women in leadership and increasing the number of women in leadership roles.
Leadership Morgan Hill
AAUW Morgan Hill annually sponsors a woman in the community to attend Leadership Morgan Hill. We believe that participation in this program is an important way to increase AAUW Morgan Hill’s connection with the community while enhancing local women’s leadership skills.
Applications for AAUW Morgan Hill’s scholarship to the Leadership Morgan Hill Class of 2023 are now available. Applications are due September 19. If you are applying for a scholarship, please complete the AAUW Morgan Hill scholarship application BEFORE submitting the Leadership Morgan Hill application.

National Conference for College Women Student Leaders (NCCWSL) Scholarship
The Morgan Hill branch of AAUW typically awards a scholarship to this national conference, held annually near the end of the school year. The scholarship includes conference registration and travel expenses. If we are not able to identify a local candidate meeting our criteria, we will pass the funds on to AAUW’s national organization who will provide the scholarship to a worthy candidate.
Please complete our NCCWSL Application (PDF). Applications for the 2023 conference are due March 1. The AAUW Morgan Hill NCCWSL Committee will review the applications and make the final selection.

Young Women Leaders
The Young Women Leaders is a group of teens mentored by AAUW members who are enhancing their leadership skills through engaging in the community in both social justice activities (such as advocating for climate change awareness) and helping other teens develop their leadership skills. This group initially was formed to provide an annual leadership conference for teens. The conference is held in April each year.
