Overview
At MPOWER, we believe that we’re not just expanding access to higher education. We’re also creating globally-minded, multi-lingual, culturally-competent graduates poised to take on the world’s most pressing problems in science, technology, business, and public policy!
Details
In recognition of the extraordinary potential of these students, we’ve created the MPOWER Global Citizen Scholarship. We’ve intentionally designed this scholarship program to be as broad as possible to match the broad, diverse experiences of international students. And there’s no requirement to be an MPOWER borrower to apply!
Scholarships awarded annually to international and DACA students enrolled at Universities MPOWER supports.
All eligible students must complete, regardless if you are a current MPOWER borrower or not, the application form to enter the scholarship.
