Coverage is strongest where programs maintain public directories — the US, UK, Canada, and Australia — with editorial guides covering developing-world research landscapes.
Long-form pieces and indexes maintained alongside the directory — overviews, policy briefs, and network listings.
A data-driven synthesis of the most important gender-gap metrics in STEM — drawing on UNESCO's Women in Science factsheet, OECD Education at a Glance, and NSF's Survey of Earned Doctorates.
Women's access to ICT across Sub-Saharan Africa — Kenya, South Africa, and Nigeria as comparative cases, drawing on ITU and World Bank data.
The ten most significant scholarships for women in STEM with spring deadlines — amounts, eligibility, and competitive notes.
Regional differences in researcher gender balance across Sub-Saharan Africa, South and West Asia, and Latin America — and the fields where women are over- and under-represented globally.
WIGSAT has indexed STEM pathways for women and girls since 2003. We list every program we can verify — public scholarships, university tracks, bootcamps, fellowships, return-to-work schemes — and link to the source. We do not run programs, take referral fees, or sell ads.
The directory is maintained by a small editorial team and reviewed quarterly. Listings that close, lapse, or change scope are flagged within the cycle. Tips and corrections from program staff, mentors, and applicants are read by a person.
