LUCKNOW: As many as 100 Indian women scholars have been awarded the British Council’s 70th Anniversary Scholarships. The Anniversary Scholarships is the first British Council scholarship programme meant solely for women. It covers tuition fees for a one-year Master’s course in science, technology, engineering or mathematics during the academic year 2018-19. The 100 scholars will be attending 44 British universities.
