British Council has announced British Council Scholarships for Women in STEM for year 2023-24.
The Council is offering 26 scholarships and Fellowships reserved for women STEM scholars from India and other South Asian countries.
As per a press release issued by British Council, the selected scholars from India will be able to pursue a master’s degree or an Early Academic Fellowship at a UK university.
The scholarship will cover tuition fees, stipend, travel costs, visa, health coverage fees, special support for mothers and English language support. The scholarships will also provide the scholars a long-lasting platform to connect with the UK through active engagement in the alumni network and inspire the next generation of women in STEM.
