Noble Panacea & Girl Up celebrate the first-ever STEM 2021 Scholarship winners at the Annual Girl Up Leadership Summit, offered as part of the ongoing Girl Up Scholarship Fund. Global winners of the STEM Scholarship has been announced which include; Muthoni Mwangi, Delicia Mwanyika, Harshitha Manjula Rajappa, Pranjal Gadge and Luciana Loera, all championing the Girl Up movement.
In April 2021, members of the Girl Up community globally were invited to apply for Scholarships to facilitate their pursuit of education in the fields of science, technology, engineering or math, as well as alleviate financial burdens of post-secondary education.
The Girl Up Scholarship Fund annually honors young female leaders’ unwavering commitment to making the world a better place for every girl, everywhere. Through a straight-forward, objective, fair and inclusive selection process, recipients will be selected based on a predetermined rubric; including, academic performance, community involvement, school activities, educational and career goals, and demonstrated commitment to gender equality.
“It’s important to engage girls and young women in STEM, not just to bridge the gender gap, but to invite more minds and ideas to create solutions to some of the world’s greatest challenges. When girls rise, we all rise.” – Melissa Kilby, Executive Director, Girl Up.
