American Association of University Women Fall 2008
SCHOLARSHIP ANNOUNCEMENT
The American Association of University Women (AAUW) is a National organization promoting societal change, equity for women, education and self-development over the life spans. In 1940, the Fort Collins Branch purchased a home and operated it as a cooperative home for women students of CSU for 30 years. The house was sold and the interest from the money from this sale constitutes the Cooperative House Fund from which scholarships are awarded annually to CSU students.
The Fort Collins Branch will be awarding two $1,500 scholarships for the Fall 2008 CSU school term. Eligibility requirements are:- Senior or upper class non-traditional female student
- Demonstrated financial need
- Minimum 3.0 GPA

International Research Experiences for Students in Mathematics
USA-BRAZIL
June 27 - August 1, 2008
The goal of this program is to foster interactions between American and Brazilian students, by providing students with meaningful experiences in mathematical research. It differs from the traditional REU by gathering not only undergraduate students, but also students in transition to a graduate program, and beginning graduate students. It is a great opportunity to get started in a research problem, in addition to acquiring international experience. Activities are conducted in English and no prior knowledge of Portuguese is necessary.
