British Council Scholarships for Women in STEM
British Council Scholarships for Women in STEM
The British Council is the UK’s international organisation for cultural relations and educational opportunities. They build connections, understanding and trust between people in the UK and other countries through arts and culture, education and the English language.
The British Council has established programmes to support Women and Girls in STEM around the world, designed with a lifecycle approach in mind, from inspiring young girls to stay in STEM to supporting women working in STEM fields reach positions of leadership and network with their peers in their region and the UK.
This year, kindly supported by the British Council, the University of Glasgow is delighted to announce 5 fully funded scholarships for female students from the countries listed below. Each of these scholarships covers full tuition fees, monthly stipend, a return economy class ticket and other costs such as IELTS exam fee, visa application, and NHS surcharge fee.
More information can be found on the British Council website linked below:

University of Glasgow is committed to support as many self-funded students as possible which is why UofG discounts and scholarships cannot be combined with one another or any external sponsorship discounts (with the exception of Alumni Discount).
If you are offered more than 1 scholarship, the lower value award will be deleted from your account.
