Imperial has launched Master's scholarships for women from Latin America.
The new scholarships, funded by the British Council, will fully-fund five women researchers from Brazil, Mexico or Peru to spend a year in London at one of the world's top universities.
Students can apply for 20 different courses within the fields of:
- Engineering
- Climate Change
- Public Health
- Environmental Science
The Master's courses range from computing and AI to climate change, biodiversity, sustainable energy, international health management, and many more.
The scholarships will help address the under-representation of women in STEM and will reach students that need financial support.
Successful applicants will demonstrate a plan and passion to engage other women in STEM from their home country.
The courses will start in Autumn 2022 and will offer students economic support including tuition fees, stipend, travel costs, visa and health coverage fees.
Professor Maggie Dallman, Vice President (International), said: "Imperial is home to an international scientific community where women succeed.
"These new scholarships will enable talented, Latin American students to fulfil their potential at one of the world's leading universities and help inspire the next generation of women scientists.
"The best science comes from the most diverse teams, and these scholarships will reach those that are under-represented and disadvantaged financially so they can further develop their innovative ideas."
