Overview of the Women in Science Bursary scholarship
Who can apply for the Women in Science Bursary?
The School of Science is pleased to offer Women in Science bursaries of £1000 per annum to assist women applicants to pursue their studies at Loughborough, and help them develop their careers as future scientists working in industry or academia.
Applicants considering 2026 entry to any of our undergraduate degree programmes in Computer Science, Chemistry, Mathematics, Physics, or Natural Sciences, are invited to apply.
The bursary would be paid for each year of the programme (excluding the industrial or professional placement year if taken), subject to satisfactory academic progression (achieving an overall 2:1 mark or above each year).
Bursary holders will have the chance to work voluntarily with current Women in Science ambassadors in the School of Science to further the engagement of women in science. There will be an opportunity to become a paid student helper, and each bursary holder will be mentored by a senior woman staff member in the School, who will guide their development throughout their course.
