Women make up just one in three of the world’s researchers and only 35% of STEM graduates. Our Women in STEM Scholarships aim to close this gap, offering women the opportunity to study STEM at leading UK universities. 🎓 Meet Lisandra Matos, a #WomenInSTEM scholar whose journey began in Brazil studying ocean sciences. Our scholarship helped her pursue further studies at Bangor University, Wales, researching marine life and studying the impact of climate change on fishing. Lisandra now works in Scotland to promote sustainable practices among fishing communities. She aspires to support Brazil's marine economy and connect the UK and Latin America’s renewable energy sectors.
