The deadlines for each university should be checked by the students. Visit britishcouncil.org/study-work-abroad/in-uk/scholarship-women-stem if you are interested and qualify.

There is no country-specific cap on the grants; they are given out based on merit. Coventry University, the University of Bath, the University of Manchester, the University of Southampton, Imperial College London, and the University of Edinburgh are among the six UK universities offering the grants.

This scholarship grant is designed to help women scholars build successful careers in STEM fields and give them the tools they need to share their knowledge and advance research and innovation at home.

The grant will pay for education, a stipend, travel costs, visa fees, premiums for medical insurance, special support for mothers, and English language assistance for selected Indian scholars who choose to pursue a master’s degree or an Early Educational Scholarship at a UK university.

Candidates can apply for Master’s programmes and Early Academic Fellowships through 21 UK universities in disciplines like computer science, data science, biotechnology, environmental engineering, civil engineering, medicine, public health, machine learning, robotics, information technology, renewable energy, and energy management, among others.
