Women in STEM

Scholarships for women aged 17 - 20, who are commencing an applicable STEM related University degree in 2027

Applications Open - Friday 18 December 2026

To create more opportunities for young women in STEM, ACS Foundation launched the Women of STEM Scholarship Programme in 2023. These scholarships support women aged 17–20 who are entering their first year of a relevant STEM degree at an Australian university.

The eligible degrees are determined by our donors. For 2027, students commencing studies in Information Technology, Computer Science, Cyber Security, Data Analytics, AI, Astrophysics, Astronomy, Engineering and Environmental Sciences are eligible to apply.

The Women of STEM Scholarship is a national program that provides financial support of $5,000 per year for the duration of the recipient’s degree, up to a maximum of five years. In 2026, we awarded four scholarships to outstanding female students.

Applications for 2027 Scholarships Close Sunday 31 January 2027
