The British Council has unveiled the launch of the British Council Scholarships for Women in STEM program in collaboration with UK universities. This initiative targets female graduates in STEM fields who aspire to pursue their Master’s degrees in the UK.
A total of 25 scholarships have been allocated for women in STEM disciplines from India and other South Asian nations. These scholarships are distributed among five prominent UK higher education institutions: Queen Mary University of London, Anglia Ruskin University, Greenwich University, The University of Southampton, and Coventry University.
The scholarship package encompasses coverage for tuition fees, stipends, travel expenses, visa fees, health insurance, and English language support. Recipients of the scholarship will have the opportunity to pursue a variety of courses, including Data Science, Computer Science, Pharmaceutical Science, Electronic and Electrical Engineering, Mechanical Engineering, Engineering Management, Civil Engineering Management, Intelligent Healthcare, Actuarial Science, among others.
The primary objective of this scholarship initiative is to encourage young women to remain active in STEM fields by facilitating their advancement into leadership positions and fostering networking opportunities with peers both locally and in the UK. Additionally, the scholarship program extends its support to women with dependents, offering supplementary assistance to facilitate their educational pursuits.
