The Fundación Universia, in partnership with HORSE Technologies and with the support of the Santander Open Academy platform, is now accepting applications for the international “Becas Tech Her Future” program, which offers 50 scholarships worth up to €2,500 each. The initiative is aimed at unemployed women or women with disabilities who are enrolled in undergraduate, master’s, or doctoral programs in Science, Technology, Engineering, and Mathematics (STEM) for the 2025–2026 academic year.
Applications can be submitted through January 19, 2026, directly through the Santander Open Academy platform. For students at UniMAX and UNIFAJ, it is essential that they register and log in using only their institutional email address from their respective institution, to ensure proper academic affiliation during the selection process.
Female applicants residing in Brazil, Argentina, Chile, Portugal, or Spain are eligible to participate, provided they meet the criteria outlined in the call for applications, including proof of enrollment in technology-related courses. The program also reinforces its commitment to inclusion by allocating at least 15% of the scholarships to women with disabilities.
The selection of applicants will be based on an analysis of their academic profile, socioeconomic status, and the motivation described in their personal statement. The final results are expected to be announced in early February 2026.
Through this initiative, Fundación Universia and HORSE Technologies reaffirm their commitment to promoting gender equality, social inclusion, and strengthening the presence of women in the technology sector, thereby contributing to the development of qualified professionals in strategic fields that are in high demand in the global market.
