Mexico AMEXCID Scholarship
About this scholarship
The AMEXCID Scholarship is offered by the Government of Mexico through the Mexican Agency for International Development Cooperation, under the Ministry of Foreign Affairs. It supports international students and researchers to study or carry out research in Mexico, across undergraduate, master’s, doctoral, and mobility levels, as part of Mexico’s international cooperation and cultural exchange efforts.
The award is fully funded for the chosen programme, covering full tuition at Mexican public universities, a monthly stipend, health insurance, and Spanish language training, for the duration of the studies or the research and mobility period. Scholars study at participating Mexican institutions across a wide range of fields.
Eligibility is for non-Mexican citizens (foreign students not already resident in Mexico) who meet the GPA threshold (around 8.5 on a 10-point scale), hold a bachelor’s degree for master’s study, have a good academic record, and have basic Spanish or a willingness to learn, along with a recent acceptance letter from a participating Mexican institution. You apply online in Spanish through the AMEXCID academic management system during the annual call, uploading transcripts, a study plan, the acceptance letter, and references, with selection made by AMEXCID. For students keen to study in Mexico, it is the main government scholarship.
