The AAUW offers a variety of grants ands fellowships including American Fellowships, Career Developments Grants, Community Action Grants, Eleanor Roosevelt Teacher Fellowships, International Fellowships, and Selected Professions Fellowships.
The American Educational Research Association Grants Program
The AERA Grants Program invites proposals for quantitative education policy and practice research using large-scale, nationally- representative data sets such as those sponsored by NCES and NSF. Minority researchers are strongly encouraged to apply.
Maria Mitchell Women in Science Award
Since 1998, the Maria Mitchell Association has offered an annual award to recognize an individual, program or organization that encourages the advancement of girls and women in the natural and physical sciences, mathematics, engineering, computer science and technology. An award of $5,000 is given to one individual, program or organization from the U.S. each year.
MAA 2007 Grants for Tensor-Summa Program
The Tensor Foundation has provided funding for the MAA to award grants for programs designed to encourage the pursuit and enjoyment of mathematics among middle school students, high school students, and/or beginning college students from groups traditionally under-represented in the field of mathematics. College and university mathematical sciences faculty and their departments and institutions may submit proposals. They should collaborate with secondary and middle school mathematics faculty as appropriate depending on the focus of the project. Proposed programs may replicate existing successful programs, adapt components of such programs, or be innovative.
NSF/AWM Travel Grants and Mentoring Travel Grants
The objective of the NSF-AWM Travel Grants Program is to enable women to attend research conferences in their fields, thereby providing a valuable opportunity to advance their research activities and their visibility in the research community. The objective of the NSF-AWM Mentoring Travel Grants is to help junior women to develop a long term working and mentoring relationship with a senior mathematician. This relationship should help the junior mathematician to establish her research program and eventually receive tenure.

WOMEN'S INTERNATIONAL SCIENCE COLLABORATION (WISC) PROGRAM
The Women's International Science Collaboration Program (WISC) is a partnership between the American Association for the Advancement of Science and the National Science Foundation to increase the participation of women in international scientific research. WISC awards on a competitive basis small travel grants to U.S. scientists to plan and design new collaborations with colleagues in Central/Eastern and Western Europe, the Newly Independent States of the former Soviet Union, Near East, Middle East, Africa, the Americas, Pacific, and Asia.

Association for Women In Science Scholarships and Fellowships
About 5-10 AWIS graduate fellowships in the amount of $1,000 are awarded each year. The four memorial awards are: (1) Amy Lutz Rechel Award, for an outstanding graduate student in the field of plant biology, (2) Luise Meyer-Schutzmeister Award, for an outstanding graduate student in physics (see note below), (3) Ruth Satter Award, for an outstanding graduate student who interrupted her education for at least three years to raise a family, and (4) the Diane H. Russell Award, for an outstanding graduate student in the field of biochemistry or pharmacology. In addition, Gail Naughton has established an award for an outstanding graduate student. AWIS may also award Citations of Merit ($300).
Association for Women In Science 2007 Kirsten R. Lorentzen Award in Physics
The Kirsten R. Lorentzen Award is a new AWIS Educational Foundation program for college sophomores and juniors studying physics, including space physics and geophysics, or geoscience. The award in the amount of $1,000 will be given annually to an exceptionally well-rounded student who excels in her studies as well as outdoor activities, service, sports, music, or other non-academic pursuits or who has overcome significant obstacles.
The Association of Women in Mathematics 2007 Ruth I. Michler Memorial Prize
The Ruth I. Michler Memorial Prize of the AWM is awarded annually to a woman recently promoted to Associate Professor or an equivalent position in the mathematical sciences. The prize provides a fellowship for the awardee to spend a semester in the Mathematics Department of Cornell University without teaching obligations. Recently promoted associate professors face many challenges as they prepare to take on greater leadership in research and in the profession. The Ruth I. Michler Memorial Prize will honor outstanding women at this stage of their careers and enable them to focus on their research in the stimulating environment of the Cornell University Mathematics Department. The recipient of the first award will be announced in January 2007. The recipient may use the fellowship during a semester of her choosing during the 2007-2008 academic year. The award this first year will be US $40,000, with an additional travel allowance provided by the Cornell University Mathematics Department. Acceptance and use of the fellowship cannot be deferred.
The Graduate Women in Science (GWIS) Grants and Fellowships
Sigma Delta Epsion/Graduate Women in Science offers 4 fellowships (SDE, Eloise Gerry, Vessa Notchev, and Nell I. Mondy Fellowships). A single application form is used for all SDE/GWIS Fellowships. To be eligible, the applicant must be enrolled as a graduate students, or engaged in post-doctoral or early-stage junior faculty academic reserach and demonstrate financial need.
Women In Defense, A National Security Organization, established the Horizons Foundation to encourage women to pursue careers related to the national security interests of the United States and to provide development opportunities to women who are already working in national security fields. HORIZONS scholarships are awarded to candidates demonstrating significant leadership potential that can lead to contributions in the science, engineering, and business disciplines.
L'Oréal will award five $20,000 fellowhips each year to young women who are third and fourth year graudate students and to postdoctoral researchers whose interests are in the natural sciences (biological and physical), engineering, computer science, and mathematics.

University of Oregon CSEMS (Computer Science, Mathematics, and Engineering Scholars) Program
The CSEMS (Computer Science, Mathematics, and Engineering Scholars) program at the University of Oregon is funded by National Science Foundation and provides (small) scholarships to undergraduate and, in some cases, graduate students who are U.S. citizens. The successful applicant is required to participate in the CSEMS Options for Math and Computer Science Students courses.

AWM Pamphlet "Careers in Mathematics"
In this pamphlet the authors try to give you a flavor of some of the areas of mathematics in which there are many opportunities. At the end, a brief "road map" of mathematics is provided.
AMS-MAA-SIAM Mathematical Sciences Career Information for NonAcademic Employment
This Web site is provided by AMS and SIAM that has career profiles of mathematicians, most with PhDs, who are working in non-academic positions. The profiles include information about their work environment, the projects they work on, their career path and their decision to work outside academia. In December and January, Duncan Buell, Research Staff Member at the Institute for Defense Analyses, will be featured on the Careers Bulletin Board and will participate in an open question and answer forum. Currently in the archives are profiles of other mathematicians at government labs, including Fern Hunt, Paul Boggs and Isabel Beichl at NIST, Mary Brewster at Battelle Pacific Northwest National Lab, Douglas Cooper at the Naval Research Lab, Tim Trucano at Sandia National Labs, David Lieberman at IDA, and Mark Stamp at NSA.
