Is CFUW only for University Women?
NO!
Here's a bit of history: only in the 1880s did some Canadian Universities begin to open their doors to women. By the turn of the century, in a few cities, some of the graduates formed "University Women" clubs to advocate for and support women's higher education. These clubs formed the core of the Canadian Federation of University Women (CFUW) when it was formed in 1919. Recognizing that today women pursue many avenues of higher education outside university--including college, professional schools, apprenticeships, on the job training, and other life experiences, CFUW has chosen to drop "University Women" from its name and be known simply as CFUW. Diversity strengthens and educates us all. Whatever her background, any woman who supports its goals may join CFUW.

Membership Fees and Disbursement
Annual Membership fees are $85 ($42 for students). Where does the money go? Some goes to support the work of Ontario Council, and a big chunk goes to National, which maintains an office in Ottawa and has paid staff. The balance goes to us! It covers hall rental and some program and printing costs. We do fund raising to support special projects, topping up awards, etc. Our important fundraiser Celebrate Women supports our Scholarship & Awards Program.
