While we have seen an increase in participation of females in the workforce, the number of successful female researchers in the Science, Technology, Engineering and Mathematics (STEM) fields remains low as of today. Therefore, the Women’s Research Activities Committee is offering a Fellowship to female researchers who are highly motivated to be successful in the science and technology fields, in order to encourage their aspirations and hopes for their future. By utilizing the funds donated from the Micron Technology Foundation Inc., this Fellowship will be given to female graduate students from the science and technology fields at Hiroshima University.

This Fellowship is for female graduate students enrolled at Hiroshima University who specialize in science or engineering. By utilizing the funds donated from the Micron Technology Foundation Inc., we provide a grant-type fellowship to eligible students.
Only first-year master’s course students are eligible for this Fellowship in FY2022.

Currently no open call for applications.
