Zonta International Women in STEM Scholarship

Eligible fields span a wide range of STEM disciplines - computer science, information technology, cybersecurity, data science, emerging technologies, and traditional engineering and science majors - at both the undergraduate (junior/senior level) and graduate level. This breadth makes it accessible to a large pool of women students, including those from Pakistan studying software engineering, computer science, or applied sciences at recognized universities.

Applications are typically processed through local Zonta clubs and districts before being forwarded for consideration, so candidates benefit from support and feedback at the club level even before a formal international review. The scholarship amount and number of awards vary by cycle and district, and Zonta periodically alternates between fully international competitions and club/district-level awards, so applicants should confirm the current year's cycle structure via their nearest Zonta club.

For a woman student who is already excelling academically in a STEM major but needs financial support to continue her studies, this scholarship offers both funding and entry into Zonta's global network of professional women, many of whom serve as mentors, referees, and connectors to internships or further scholarships.
