Alberta Brose AAUW Fund Memorial Grant

After the death of long time member Alberta Brose, the branch created a memorial fund in July of 2017 to honor her.  The purpose of this fund was created to go to women who return to school just as she did, as a Career Development Grants for graduate students returning to school after 5+  year absence.

Unlike the other AAUW Funds which only use the interest of a competed fund to award recipients, the memorial fund, once completed, uses the principle itself is used.  Completed in 2019 with $5000, the recipient was Elsie Carbajal. The branch received recognition for completion from AAUW CA and AAUW National.
