The ASEAN-UK SAGE Women in STEM Scholarships, a collaborative initiative between the British Council and the ASEAN Secretariat funded by the UK Foreign, Commonwealth and Development Office (UK FCDO), is a vital part of the broader ASEAN-UK SAGE Programme. This partnership underscores a shared commitment to gender equality and women's empowerment throughout the ASEAN region and Timor-Leste.
These scholarships provide women from ASEAN member states and Timor-Leste with the opportunity to study for a master’s level degree programme at select UK universities.
The ASEAN-UK SAGE Women in STEM Scholarships aim to:
- Break gender barriers in digital skills and STEM employment.
- Increase access to STEM education for girls and support disadvantaged women pursuing STEM careers.
- Address the underrepresentation of women in STEM across ASEAN and Timor-Leste, fostering inspirational advocates and role models.
We are thrilled to announce the scholars for the ASEAN-UK SAGE Women in STEM Scholarships 2024!
These remarkable women from Vietnam, Cambodia, Myanmar, Malaysia, Timor-Leste, Thailand, Indonesia, Singapore, and the Philippines have shown outstanding passion and commitment in the fields of Science, Technology, Engineering, and Mathematics. We are proud to support these exceptional women who are breaking barriers and paving the way for future generations in STEM.
The scholars will be awarded a fully funded, one-year Master’s degree program at either the University of Warwick or Imperial College London.
