For more than fifty years, AAUW Murfreesboro, the Fund’s parent organization, has been awarding scholarships for women to attend Middle Tennessee State University.
To continue AAUW Murfreesboro’s longstanding commitment to the education of women, in 2017, the branch expanded the scholarship program to award two scholarships each year: The Ruth Houston Memorial Undergraduate Scholarship and the Butler-Fouts Memorial Graduate Scholarship. The new graduate scholarship targets underrepresented women and is named in honor of Mattie Butler and Leola Fouts, who were active members of the branch well into their nineties.
