Overview
The Government of Mexico is offering several scholarships for international students. These scholarships are available for pursuing a specialisation, master’s, or doctoral degree, conducting postgraduate or postdoctoral research, or participating in an academic mobility programme at the undergraduate or postgraduate level.
Details
Scholarships to study in Mexico are offered to students from over 180 countries through a series of bilateral conventions, multilateral programs, and special agreements. This edition features participation from more than 80 Mexican higher education institutions, all offering academic programs registered with the National Council of Science and Technology (CONACYT) as National Quality Postgraduate Programs. These programs showcase the progress Mexico has made in the sciences and humanities.
By awarding scholarships to international students, Mexico strengthens its role as a globally responsible actor and reaffirms its commitment to cooperation programs that contribute to the creation of highly qualified human capital.
The presence of international students, academics, and scientists in Mexico helps build lasting bridges of dialogue, enriching the long-term foreign policy agenda with contributions of exceptional value for both the country and its international partners. Additionally, Mexican institutions and the academic community benefit from enhanced internationalization.
