MPOWER Financing

Information

MPOWER was founded in 2014 by Manu Smadja and Mike Davis, two former international students with a shared dream: to remove the financial obstacles students often face when pursuing an international education.

To do this, they would make loans based on a student’s future potential — not their past. Since then, MPOWER is proud to have helped thousands of students achieve their dream of studying abroad. International students work hard — they deserve a partner who will help them access the education and opportunities they need to achieve their dreams.
