Women in STEM Scholarship

Scholarships awarded annually to female international or DACA students who are currently enrolled or accepted to study full-time in a STEM degree at a program MPOWER supports in the United States or Canada

Eligibility

The student must:

• Be accepted at, or enrolled, in a full-time STEM degree program at a U.S. or Canadian school that MPOWER supports, and

• Be a female international student allowed to legally study in the U.S. or Canada, as applicable:

  • For study in the U.S., this means that the applicant is either a U.S. permanent resident (Green Card holder), protected under the Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals (DACA) program, or has a valid visa that permits study in the U.S.

  • For study in Canada, this means the applicant is either a Canadian permanent resident or has a valid Canadian study permit.

You do not need to be an MPOWER borrower or applicant to apply for the MPOWER Women in STEM Scholarship as long as you meet the eligibility criteria set forth above.

We have created this scholarship specifically for international and DACA students. Therefore, U.S. citizens wishing to study in the U.S. and Canadian citizens wishing to study in Canada are not eligible for this scholarship.
