The first AWC Scholarship of $1,000 was granted in 1949 to Erland Frisvold for study in International Relations.
The club began to award the scholarship every two years and a scholarship committee was formed to publicize the scholarship, receive applications, screen and interview candidates, conduct all correspondence, and award the grants.
The preferred fields of study have changed over time but are now:
• Women's health
• Children's health
• Geriatric care
• Preventative medicine
• Education for children/youth with special needs
• Public health
