The Margaret McNamara Education Grants (MMEG) is a non-profit, public charity established in 1981, dedicated to supporting and empowering women from developing countries by providing educational grants. These grants help women further their studies and improve their personal future as well as the future of their country. For the 2025 academic year, MMEG is inviting female students from South Africa to apply for their bursary awards. The program aims to help women from developing countries enhance their education and, consequently, the lives of women and children in those regions. MMEG is unique in its focus on providing financial assistance specifically to women.
The bursary covers all fields of study and can be applied towards a Certificate, Undergraduate, Graduate, or Post Doctorate qualification at selected universities. Female students from other countries may also apply if their country is on the MMEG Country Eligibility List. The grant provides up to US$7,000 (approximately R128,000), although the amount may vary depending on available funds and exchange rates. The grants will be awarded in February 2025
