British Council Women in STEM Scholarships for Vietnamese Students

About this scholarship

The British Council Women in STEM Scholarships for Vietnamese Students support women from Viet Nam pursuing selected one-year STEM master's degrees in the United Kingdom. The British Council Vietnam page says the programme aims to increase opportunities for women in STEM, strengthen female leadership in science and innovation, and support women from socioeconomically disadvantaged contexts. The scholarship is full funding because the official page states that each scholarship is worth at least GBP 40,000 and includes monetary support, tuition fees, living stipends, travel and visa costs, health coverage fees, and English-language support. For 2026-2027, Vietnamese students could apply for British Council Women in STEM Scholarship routes linked to Liverpool School of Tropical Medicine and ASEAN-UK Women in STEM routes linked to the University of Stirling, with applications made directly to the chosen university. The page states that 20 scholarships were open to applicants from Southeast Asia and Hong Kong through four UK universities. Applications for the 2026-2027 cohort are now closed, so apply_url is null and students should monitor the official British Council page for the next cycle.
