Huawei’s scholarship program for higher education students received around 3,000 applications, 45% of which were women. INCoDe.2030 is one of the partners in this project, which aims to support a total of 50 Portuguese higher education students in the STEAM areas (Science, Technology, Engineering, Arts and Mathematics).
Huawei will support each of the 50 students with 5,000 euros, through an annual investment of 250,000 euros. The value of the scholarships is awarded over a year, by .PT, from the second semester of the 2021/2022 academic year to the first semester of the 2022/2023 academic year. Half of the grants will be awarded to women, as part of Huawei’s investment in promoting gender equality in ICT.
This program was developed within the scope of a memorandum of understanding between .PT and Huawei Portugal, and has the support of INCoDe.2030, the Commission for Citizenship and Equality and Portugal Digital. The ten elements of the jury are analyzing the applications and the winners will be announced shortly.
