Applications are open for the L'Oréal USA For Women in Science Fellowship Programme 2023. The L'Oréal USA For Women in Science Fellowship Programme awards five women postdoctoral scientists annually with grants for their contributions in Science, Technology, Engineering and Math (STEM) fields and commitment to serving as role models for younger generations.
The For Women in Science programme was created out of a simple belief: the world needs science, and science needs women because women in science have the power to change the world.
