30 Mastercard Foundation Scholarship Winners

Leadership and community impact can be hard to present without making an application feel vague. Mastercard Foundation Scholarship applicants may benefit from linking specific experiences to their academic plans and the change they hope to support.

Winners offer useful examples of how they chose evidence, explained obstacles, and kept their personal statements focused. Their routes to the Mastercard Foundation Scholarship can also help you think about preparation, required documents, and the right time to apply.
