Are you a woman with big dreams in science, technology, engineering, or mathematics (STEM)? Do you want to earn a master’s degree in the UK — completely funded?
🎓 The British Council’s Women in STEM Scholarships for the 2025–26 academic year are now open, and they could change everything.
🚀 Why This Scholarship Matters
Despite progress, women still remain underrepresented in STEM fields globally.
- Women hold fewer academic and industry positions
- Their work receives less recognition
- Leadership roles remain elusive
Yet research shows that women in STEM outperform their male peers by 8% on average — and this scholarship is here to break barriers and uplift voices.
