Hey! I heard about Westbon offering scholarships to international students in the U.S. Does anyone have more info on this? How can I apply, and what are my chances if I'm coming from outside the U.S.?
Great question! Westbon, now known as MPOWER Financing, does indeed provide scholarships for international students. They offer multiple scholarships throughout the year to international and DACA students who are enrolled at a U.S. university or college.
To apply for these scholarships, you should visit the MPOWER Financing website and find their page dedicated to scholarships. In general, the application usually requires that you write an essay or create a short video in response to a prompt.
The chances of receiving an MPOWER scholarship can vary and may depend on multiple factors like the quality of your essay or video, your academic record, professional experiences, and your potential to be a leader in your field. Keep in mind that these scholarships tend to be highly competitive due to the number of international and DACA students applying for them. So, it's important to submit a well-thought-out application and stand out among the other applicants.
Remember to carefully check the qualifications and requirements listed for each specific scholarship, as they may vary. Good luck with your application!
