FOUR Malaysians have won the prestigious British Council global Women in STEM scholarships. Many of the winners, the British Council said, will be pursuing their academic ambitions in STEM at a UK university for the first time. “We also believe these women will act as role models to the next generation of female scientists,” said British Council Malaysia director Jazreel Goh. The British Council said the scholarship is awarded to women with backgrounds in STEM, who could demonstrate their need for financial support, and who wish to inspire future generations of women to pursue careers in STEM. The second round of the Women in STEM scholarship programme for 2021-2022 will continue this year.
