Apply for the British Council Women in STEM Scholarships 2026/2027

The British Council Women in STEM Scholarships programme addresses the persistent gender gap within science, technology, engineering, and mathematics (STEM) fields. Despite evidence showing that women are, on average, more productive in STEM-related research and innovation, they remain significantly underrepresented, underpaid, and less likely to advance into leadership roles. These inequalities continue to limit innovation, economic growth, and global scientific progress.
