Established in 2018, the Laura Bassi Scholarship aims to fuel bold academic inquiry by offering editorial assistance funding to exceptional individuals at the cutting edge of research that might otherwise be overlooked. Whether you’re tackling postcolonial theory in engineering, feminist ethics in climate science, or unheard histories in tech—your research deserves a platform, and the Laura Bassi team is ready to help amplify it.

|---|---|
| Master’s Students | Up to $750 |
| Doctoral Candidates | Up to $2,500 |
