Does anyone know of any scholarships specifically for Asian European women who are pursuing a degree in STEM fields? I'm really interested in applying but unsure where to start looking for these opportunities.
Absolutely, there are several scholarships oriented towards supporting diversity in STEM fields, including those specifically for women of Asian or European descent. For instance, the Women Enhancing Technology (WeTech) Scholarship and Internship program supports female undergraduates majoring in STEM fields.
Aside from that, the Asian Pacific Islander American Scholarship Fund (APIASF) offers scholarships to Asian and Pacific Islander American students, including those studying in the STEM fields. They don't limit their awards to women, but they certainly include them.
Scholarships.com also has a section for scholarships by ethnicity, where you might uncover more opportunities. Remember, many scholarships are not ethnicity or gender specific, so don't limit your search. National and regional STEM scholarships such as the National Science Foundation’s Scholarships in Science, Technology, Engineering, and Mathematics (S-STEM) might be open to you as well.
Don't forget about scholarships offered by professional organizations either, like the Society of Women Engineers (SWE) and the Association for Women in Mathematics. These groups offer numerous scholarships each year to women in STEM.
I'd also recommend reaching out to the financial aid office at the colleges you're considering. They can provide resources and guidance on scholarships you may be eligible for.
Remember, each scholarship will have its own eligibility criteria and application requirements. You'll need to read the fine print and prepare your applications carefully. Best of luck to you!
