There’s no requirement to be an MPOWER borrower to apply.

The quality of the applicant’s essay; the essay should demonstrate clarity of thought, compelling goals and vision, and superior communication skills in English;
The extent to which there is a clear nexus between the applicant’s intended field of study and his/her goals and aspirations; and
The applicant’s potential as a scientist, entrepreneur, leader, and/or change-maker who will make a positive impact.
