Education for women has always been important to AAUW. The Fond du Lac Branch began awarding local scholarships in 1924. The AAUW Book Sale provided funds for scholarships and fellowships from 1962-2019.  1999 AAUW Fond du Lac began an endowment fund at the Fond du Lac Area Foundation.

In the spring four Elizabeth Waters Scholarships, which support and encourage graduating high school senior young women as they pursue a baccalaureate degree at an accredited college or university, were awarded to Rachel Cook, Halley Hoffmann, Hayden Mason and Reese Neumann.
