In 1995 the AAUW Santa Fe Branch established the AAUW/UNM
Scholarship Endowment Fund at the University of New Mexico. The total
endowment is now about $30,000. From the endowment earnings, each year a
$2,000 scholarship is awarded to a woman resident of Santa Fe County who
is enrolled as a full time graduate student at any UNM campus, and who has
demonstrated academic promise and achievement. Preference is given to returning
women. Gifts to this fund are tax-deductible and are encouraged. Gifts sent
directly to the UNM Foundation and restricted to the AAUW Santa Fe - UNM
scholarship are tax-deductible. You may contribute to either the principal
of the endowment or to the spending account that is used to provide the
scholarships for recipients. The Pauline Gomez Fund was established in 1996,
and the Teddi Baer Fund in 1997, in memory of Santa Fe AAUW members. Donations
to these funds go directly to the principal of the AAUW/UNM Scholarship
Endowment Fund. We encourage you to support the education and advancement
of New Mexico women. Contact our branch's AAUW-UNM Scholarship Fund Chair,
Judy Kares at jkares@earthlink.net
if you have any questions.
