Then yes, if there is an issue with attracting male applicants to specific fields, male-specific scholarships should be granted to those programs.

That said, women have been known to have broken into most fields quite readily in the last 40 years, with STEM being a looming exception (though that tide is turning as well) which is why most initiatives in the last decade focus on STEM fields.
