Girl Up STEM Scholarship: Empowering Future Female Leaders in STEM
Girl Up is a youth-centered leadership initiative focusing on equity for girls and women in spaces where they are unheard or underrepresented. Recognizing the persistent gender gap in science, technology, engineering, arts, and mathematics (STEAM), Girl Up actively bridges this divide by inspiring young leaders to leverage STEAM skills for social good, creating solutions to problems in their communities. The Girl Up Scholarship Fund offers scholarships to girls and young women who are passionate about gender equality and pursuing higher education.
Girl Up's Commitment to Gender Justice and STEM
Girl Up knows that investing in girls means investing in the healthy future of a community, and they are committed to seeking and maintaining a culturally diverse and inclusive Scholarship Program. With the understanding that girls and women are underrepresented in science, technology, engineering and mathematics, Girl Up is bridging the gender gap in these fields by inspiring girl leaders to use STEM skills to create solutions to problems in their communities.
Girl Up believes when girls and women are in positions of influence, they work to create a more just and equitable space for everyone. Your support of our girl changemakers means Girl Up can continue to work toward a world where girls have equal value, opportunity, and the chance to reach their fullest potential.
