Asian University For Women Support Foundation

Asian University for Women Support Foundation (AUWSF) is a 501(c)(3)-registered nonprofit organization based in Cambridge, Massachusetts. It serves as the principal fundraising and development arm of the Asian University for Women (AUW). Founded in 2008 and located in Chittagong, Bangladesh, AUW is the first of its kind: a regional institution dedicated to women’s education and leadership development through liberal arts and sciences education. It is international in outlook but rooted in the contexts and aspirations of the people of Asia. AUW exists solely to support a rising network of women leaders, entrepreneurs, and changemakers from across the region. It seeks out women who show significant academic achievement and potential, demonstrate courage and a sense of outrage at injustice, and are empathic to the woes of other people.
