MPOWER Financing Women in STEM Scholarship for International Students 2025

In keeping with MPOWER’s commitment to empower high-potential global citizens to realize their educational aspirations – and become tomorrow’s leading scientists and innovators – this international scholarship program focuses on women who will use their STEM degree to benefit society and the planet and who have the potential to serve as role models and advocates for women in STEM.

The National Center for Education Statistics reported that 32% of STEM degrees in the U.S. were awarded to women in one year. Women majoring in computer engineering, nuclear science and software development, amongst others, should not be challenged in funding their dream. In addition, the Society of Women Engineers found that gender inequities are especially pronounced in engineering and computer science, with just 20% of bachelor’s degrees in engineering and computer science held by women.

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