Expires on March 15, 2023 | AFS Global STEM Accelerators 2023 Exchange Programme for Young Women
The AFS Global STEM Accelerators 2023 Exchange Programme for Young Women is now accepting applications. This is an exceptional full scholarship program for girls who are motivated to contribute to the solution of some of the largest global concerns facing the world today.
Currently, women make up more than half of the workforce globally who have a college degree. Yet, just 28% of women work in STEM disciplines. Girls and women who want to pursue careers in STEM frequently encounter difficult obstacles in fields where males have traditionally held the majority positions. This initiative, which is devoted to the advancement of women in STEM professions, was developed as a result. AFS may begin to reverse this trend and expand the perspectives of women in the larger endeavor of achieving a sustainable future by giving girls from all around the world the chance to pursue their interests in science, technology, engineering, and mathematics.
