AFS STEM Scholarship Program 2022 for Girls Worldwide: An extraordinary, full scholarship program for girls who are active global citizens and energized to help solve some of today’s biggest global challenges. When is Application Deadline? 15th May 2022 Tell Me About AFS STEM Scholarship Program: Women around the world currently make up more than half of the college-educated workforce. However, STEM fields are made up of only 28% women. Women and girls who desire to learn more about STEM often face a challenging set of circumstances in fields that are traditionally dominated by men. (See the American Association of University Women for more details). That’s why we have created a program dedicated to the future of women in STEM fields. By providing an opportunity for girls from around the world to explore their interests in science, technology, engineering, and mathematics, we can start to change this trend and open up more possibilities for the perspectives of women in the greater goal of reaching a sustainable future.
