WAAW Foundation Scholarship 2025: Empowering African Women in STEM
WAAW Foundation Scholarship 2025
The WAAW Foundation Scholarship is here to help young women across Africa pursue their passion for STEM (Science, Technology, Engineering, and Mathematics).
If you’re an African woman studying a STEM-related course, this could be your chance to receive some much-needed support for your education.
With a one-time award of $500, the scholarship is designed to ease some of the financial burdens, allowing you to focus on what really matters—your studies and your dreams.
At WAAW, we’re not just looking for good grades; we’re looking for women who have a passion for their field, a drive to succeed, and a commitment to making a difference in their communities.
With this scholarship, you’ll also have a chance to give back by volunteering through the STEM Outreach Chapter at your university, helping other young women find their place in STEM.
