Scholarship program

Girls in STEM for Mykolaiv

The scholarship program “Girls in STEM for Mykolaiv” aims to inspire, support, and empower schoolgirls in the South of Ukraine, pursuing education and careers in crucial sectors: water, energy and agrifood infrastructure.

This initiative, supported by enercity AG, the Siemens Foundation, and the German Water Partnership, is open to schoolgirls from Mykolaiv, Odesa, and Kherson oblasts.

The scientific, industrial, and human capital potential of Ukraine’s Southern Region lies in the hands of its youth. We are enhancing this potential by providing financial support, mentorship, and equipment to outstanding schoolgirls with a passion for STEM disciplines, especially in water-related research areas.

Empowering Girls in STEM

This initiative is designed to inspire, support, and empower girls pursuing education and careers in traditionally male-dominated sectors such as water, energy, and agrifood infrastructure. The “Girls in STEM for Mykolaiv” scholarship program offers funding for educational and research expenses for selected students. In addition, schoolgirls will benefit from mentorship opportunities, interactive lectures, and career development workshops tailored to their STEM interests and goals.

Applications for the “Girls in STEM for Mykolaiv” scholarship program are now open to girls entering or currently enrolled in STEM-related research at Minor Academy of Science in Mykolaiv, Odesa, and Kherson.
Our goal is to raise 10.000 EUR:
– 6.000 EUR to provide the scholarships;
– 4.000 EUR to purchase interractive learning STEM-equipment for the lessons.
