The world needs women in STEM.
Introducing ProdiSHE by Prodigy Finance and NovaGrad. Awards designed to help women move forward with international STEM degrees.

The next generation of women in STEM starts here
ProdiSHE is a campaign that supports women pursuing STEM master’s degrees abroad by providing application guidance and funding opportunities.
Through this initiative, we help more women access global education and build careers in science, technology, engineering, and mathematics.
By combining university discovery through NovaGrad with study abroad funding from Prodigy Finance, we help you move from ambition to action. Because when more doors open to global education, more women in STEM can step through them.
How ProdiShe supports your journey
Every study abroad journey begins at a different point. Some students are still exploring universities and deciding where to apply. Others already have admission and are preparing to secure funding for their degree.
ProdiShe supports both stages.
If you are choosing where to study, NovaGrad helps you discover universities that match your goals and begin your applications with guidance and application fee support.
If you are preparing to fund your degree, Prodigy Finance helps you check your loan eligibility and access funding designed for international postgraduate students.
Choose the starting point that matches where you are today and take the next step toward your STEM master’s degree abroad.
