MMEG Scholarship 10th Year Anniversary Celebration

MMEG is a nonprofit, public charity whose mission is to improve the lives of women and children by supporting the higher education of exceptional women from developing countries who will catalyze change.

This year, Trinity is honoring the 10th year of partnership with MMEG, who has been working to empower women by supporting their education so that they can build a better world.  We are very proud to present our numbers. Grantees have focused on diverse fields of study, including engineering, information technologies, health, science, education, social studies, and law.

Join us for a panel of past Trinity MMEG recipients and for eligible students to learn about the MMEG process for 2027-2028.
