In association with the Highlands College Foundation, Soroptimist International Jersey provides funding for women and girls studying courses related to science, technology, engineering and mathematics (STEM).

For over five years, this scheme has supported many young women to enter traditionally male-dominated professions and succeed in their career aspirations.

Funding applications can be made for a wide range of support, from equipment that helps young women in their chosen industries to funding for additional courses or programmes that enhance their learning.

The application process involves students on STEM courses submitting an online application, which is then reviewed and scored by members of Soroptimist International Jersey and the Highlands College Foundation. Applicants are not required to provide any means-testing information and need only supply their Student ID.
