Supporting all talents

Women in Science Scholarship

At the ENS Paris-Saclay, women make up 30% of students but only account for 12.7% of students in computer science, engineering, mathematics and physics.

Interest

Gender parity in scientific and technical fields cannot be reduced to mere equity: it must be a driving force of our nation’s creativity and productivity. Young women’s education, especially at a young age, is a critical issue; it is essential to intervene early on, by teaching them believe in their talent and ability to succeed in scientific fields, by arming them to challenge stereotypes and by offering them our unflinching support, so that their passion may become a professional calling.
 

Objectives

  • Encouraging women and supporting them as they study science and technical fields;
  • Offering 15 scholarships each year;
  • In the medium term, doubling the portion of women in fundamental science and engineering.

Program Features

  • A monthly 1,000€ scholarship over a year of studying at the ENS for non-civil-servant students;
  • Access to a special mentorship program;
  • Reinforcements to the women in science’s support network.

“Encouraging young women to pursue science and technology is essential to attain gender equality in our society.”
