Scholarships

Congratulations to all of this year’s scholarship winners!

The winners of the 2024 AAUW Ukiah scholarships have been chosen by the Scholarship Committee.  This was the first year in many that we have a new Scholarship Committee Chair, Michelle Hutchins.  Carole Loudd, Sulin Bell and Ky Mayers rounded out the committee.  The winners will be invited to the Fall Dinner, an we hope we will get to meet them there!
