The Scholarship Fund for Women (SFFW) is the vehicle through which The Tehachapi Mountain Branch of AAUW gives local scholarships. Since this branch’s inception, we have given out more than a quarter million dollars in college scholarships to local high school and re-entry students. The SFFW is funded by all of us. Isn’t it great what we can do together?

We appreciate both the willingness and generosity of our branch members and this community. From theater tickets to movie raffles, you have really stepped up. Historically we have received donations in honor of and in memory of individuals. For eight years, Kathi Hinkle has donated funds earmarked in memory of her mother, Eddy Hinkle.

Janice Hagen Armstrong left her own legacy. In conjunction with Smart Growth this year we will be giving out over $15,000 in scholarships to six recipients.

A big thank you to everyone for your support. We can clearly see how our giving multiplies!
