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

The British Council Women in STEM Scholarships programme tackles the persistent gender gap in science, technology, engineering, and mathematics (STEM). Even though evidence shows women are, on average, more productive in STEM-related research and innovation, they remain significantly underrepresented, underpaid, and less likely to rise into leadership roles—inequalities that continue to hold back innovation, economic growth, and global scientific progress.
