MSLA Scholars Program

For Myanmar Descent Scholars

Myanmar Student Leaders of America (MSLA) empowers a community of outstanding Myanmar-descent leaders by providing mentorship and personalized resources for higher education to cultivate an equitable and sustainable society.

Our Vision

An empowered community of Myanmar-descent leaders well-equipped with the educational resources and support to cultivate an equitable society.

What is MSLA Scholars Program?

The MSLA Scholars Program has been designed to provide the most personalized support to selected scholars throughout their college and scholarship application processes. As Myanmar descent students, we understand an immense lack of resources that are accessible to our communities. Therefore, we take it upon ourselves to share our experiences, wisdom, and support.
