The year 2023 will see MMEG award its 500th grant. What better way to mark this milestone than by expanding our grant offerings! On November 15, 2022, applications opened for MMEG’s new pilot grant program, the France Program. The France Program will offer two to three grants of $5,000 each to women from developing countries studying in France.
With programs in the United States and Canada, Latin America and the Caribbean, and South Africa, MMEG reaches a broad range of women from developing countries studying in either English or Spanish. However, there is a wide swath of women from developing countries that MMEG has up till now not been able to support: women who are French speakers and are studying in French, one of the most widely spoken languages in the world. Bridging the language barrier, MMEG’s pilot program will enable women studying in France to apply in French. Through the France Program, MMEG will be able to support women students from West and Central Africa, North Africa and the Maghreb, the Middle East, Asia, and the Caribbean.
As with all MMEG programs, the France Program grant will be awarded to exceptional women whose focus is on improving the lives of women and children in their communities. The general criteria, which you can check out here, are the same as they are for MMEG’s other programs. Applications may be submitted online from November 15, 2022, through January 15, 2023.
We are very excited to open up to a new population of extraordinary women and to expand the MMEG community of exceptional grantees across the globe!
