University of Tennessee at Chattanooga Scholar Awarded AAUW American Fellowship<\/strong><\/h3>\n

Program aims to tackle barriers women face in education<\/em><\/h4>\n

\u00a0<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n

WASHINGTON \u2014 The American Association of University Women (AAUW) awarded its 2019\u201320 American Fellowship to Fang Yu Hu<\/a> of Chattanooga. Hu is an assistant professor of East Asian History at the University of Tennessee at Chattanooga.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

\u201cI was thrilled when I heard that I was awarded this prestigious fellowship,\u201d said Hu. \u201cIt will help me complete my book manuscript on Han Taiwanese girls\u2019 education under Japanese colonialism from 1895 to 1945.\u201d<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Hu will strengthen her career as a scholar of Taiwan Studies, gender studies, and Japanese colonialism as well as a teacher of East Asia, genders studies, and world history while mentoring students of diverse backgrounds.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

\u201cThe support of AAUW is giving me a head start on my journey toward accomplishing my academic goals and my career aspirations,\u201d said Hu.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

AAUW is one of the world\u2019s leading supporters of graduate women\u2019s education: Over the past 130 years, it has provided more than $115 million in fellowships, grants, and awards to 13,000 women from more than 145 countries.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

For the 2019-20 academic year, AAUW is awarding a total of $4 million through seven fellowships and grants programs to 259 scholars, research projects and programs promoting education and equity for women and girls.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

American Fellowships<\/a>, AAUW\u2019s largest funding program, began 1888, making them one of the world\u2019s oldest and most prestigious fellowship programs exclusively for women. These fellowships support women scholars who are completing doctoral dissertations, conducting postdoctoral research or finishing research for publication.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

\u201cAAUW\u2019s fellows and grantees have made major contributions to our society and to the world at large,\u201d said Kim Churches, the chief executive officer of AAUW. \u201cThese trailblazers are breaking the mold in nontraditional fields and redefining what leadership looks like. AAUW is proud to support them with the resources they need to excel.\u201d<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Educational funding is especially important given that women are disproportionately burdened by\u00a0student debt<\/a>. \u00a0And their ability to pay off that debt is hampered by a lifelong pay gap<\/a> that\u00a0affects women in nearly every profession. The pay gap widens over time and has consequences on all aspect of a woman\u2019s financial life, \u00a0from paying for an education to saving for a comfortable retirement.\u00a0\u00a0AAUW\u2019s awards help to alleviate the burden of student debt so women can focus on developing their skills and experience.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Applications open August 1 each year<\/a>. Deadlines vary by program. To find out more about this year\u2019s exceptional class of awardees, visit the online directory<\/a>.<\/p>\n
