Women of Wichita State University (WWSU) was formed in the Fall of 2018 by the combination of two groups; the Wichita State University Women's Association (WSU Dames), founded in 1928, and the Council of University Women (CUW) founded in 1930. The purpose of the group is to serve the interests of the University, to provide student scholarships, and to promote social interaction and a sense of community among its members.

WWSU administers the WSU Dames, CUW, and the WWSU Scholarships. Preference will be given to non-traditional students who identify as female (graduate or undergraduate) with a minimum GPA of 3.0. Recipients must be enrolled in at least 6 credit hours per semester.
