Women still make up a small percentage of the STEM workforce across the globe, and it’s a similar picture for other male-dominated industries like business. Will the gender disparity in male-dominated industries ever change?
The answer seems to be yes – but gradually. In the UK, the number of women applying to engineering, computer science and medicine and dentistry since 2019 has increased by over 7 percent, 33 percent and 30 percent respectively.
Helping to speed up the process are various organisations offering scholarships for women preparing for careers in male-dominated industries. Often, the funding is accompanied by additional support, including mentorship and special events or workshops.
Below is a selection of global and region-specific scholarships for women in male-dominated industries, including scholarships for women in engineering, technology and in business.
