In 2023 MMEG launched a new pilot program. The very first cycle of the France Program, through which MMEG awards grants to French-speaking women from developing countries studying in universities in France, was successfully completed by MMEG’s France Program Selection Committee.
At the end of a rigorous selection process that maintained MMEG’s standards for excellence, two exceptional women—one studying water engineering, hydrology and flood risk, and the other, information technology—were selected and awarded the first grants in the program. Congratulations to MMEG’s two new France Program grantees!
The selections were made possible through the dedicated and excellent work of the France Program Selection Committee, a seven-member team of hard-working volunteers. From five different countries and with varying professional backgrounds, Committee members brought to the selection their collective commitment to advancing women’s education, as well as their individual experiences and skills. Their diversity of knowledge and perspectives enriched the process.
We sincerely thank the France Program Selection Committee for brilliantly ushering in MMEG’s fifth and newest grant program, and for furthering MMEG’s mission to improve the lives of women and children by supporting the higher education of exceptional women from developing countries.
