The American Association of University Women (AAUW) is a non-profit organization dedicated to advancing equity for women and girls through advocacy and education. It advocates increased support for and protection of programs that meet the needs of girls and women in higher education, including support of STEM education.

In the past, AAUW has supported STEM education for women and girls through research publications and programing. These publications include, "Why So Few?" Women in Science, Technology, Engineering, and Mathematics (2010) (), Solving the Equation: The Variables for Women's Success in Engineering & Computing (2015) (), and the Dell-AAUW Playbook on Best Practices: Gender Equity in Tech (2017) (). Programmatically, AAUW and Dell convened a Summit on Gender Equity in Tech, hosting major U.S. tech companies and researchers to share knowledge and best practices to recruit, retain, and advance women in the engineering and computing professions. AAUW also developed STEMpacks (), lesson guides and materials that educators can use to encourage hands-on learning and ran StemEd for Girls, online course materials () designed for girls in grades 9 through 12 and their caregivers to help young women gain confidence and get inspired about the endless opportunities in science, technology, engineering, and mathematics.

Today, AAUW hopes to deepen the pipeline of women in STEM through early education engagement, such as TechTrek () and Community Action Grants to organizations that provide innovative local solutions to engage and empower girls of color in STEM. AAUW also provide direct funding for women, and women of color in particular, pursuing degrees in fields where women are traditionally under-represented, including STEM fields.
