The Margaret McNamara Education Grants (MMEG) mission is to award education grants to outstanding women from developing countries, aged at least 25, who are enrolled at universities in the US, Canada, South Africa, and Latin America. This nonprofit, public charity was founded in 1981, inspired by Margaret McNamara's vision of education and gender equality.
MMEG supports the educational endeavors of women from developing countries who are pursuing higher education. By providing grants, MMEG aims to empower these women to contribute to their home countries' development while advocating for education and gender equality, principles championed by Margaret McNamara. This initiative reflects a commitment to recognizing and supporting critical elements of development through education.
