AAUW Naperville Area is excited to announce that Hailey Szulc is the winner of the 2023 Angeline Gale Scholarship. Ms. Szulc will receive $5,000 toward her undergraduate degree. The scholarship, established in 1971 in memory of educator and AAUW Naperville founder Angeline Gale, encourages women to pursue higher education, even when their progress has been interrupted. The scholarship was funded through the support of AAUW member Donna Yule and everyone who contributed to the success of AAUW’s annual used book sale.
