I'm a woman from outside the U.S. with a passion for science, and I'm seeking scholarships to help with tuition. Can anyone suggest scholarships that support women like me in STEM fields? Any advice on application strategies would also be appreciated.
There are scholarships out there that target women pursuing STEM fields, including international students.
1. AAUW International Fellowships: The American Association of University Women offers fellowships for full-time study or research in the United States to women who are not U.S. citizens or permanent residents. These fellowships are targeted toward female graduates and aim to combat gender bias in traditionally male-dominated fields such as STEM.
2. Schlumberger Foundation Faculty for the Future Program: This program offers scholarships to women from developing and emerging economies to pursue a PhD in STEM at a university abroad.
3. Adobe Research Women-in-Technology Scholarship: This is a global program that includes tuition fees for the academic year, a mentorship program, and an Adobe Research Internship.
When applying for these scholarships, be sure to tell your unique story and demonstrate your commitment to your chosen field. Highlight any past experiences or achievements that show your passion and aptitude for STEM. It's also a good idea to showcase what you hope to achieve in your career, how you plan to give back to your community or society at large, and how the scholarship will help you achieve these goals.
Remember, these are only a few of the many scholarships available. Be sure to do your research and make sure you meet all the eligibility requirements before spending time on an application. Good luck!
