On behalf of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, the Mexican Agency for International Development Cooperation (AMEXCID) invites foreign citizens who are interested in studying for a specialization, master’s degree or doctorate, conducting graduate or postdoctoral research, or taking part in an undergraduate or graduate-level academic mobility program, to participate in the 2017 Mexican Government Scholarship Program for International Students.
More than 70 Mexican institutions participate and all offer academic programs registered with the National Council for Science and Technology (CONACYT) as National Quality Graduate Programs. These programs demonstrate the progress made by Mexico in the sciences and humanities.
The scholarships are awarded annually for the following:
| Program | Maximum Length of the Scholarship |
| Undergraduate and graduate mobility programs | One academic term (quarter, trimester or semester) |
| Graduate-level research and postdoctoral fellowships | 12 months (1 month minimum) |
| Specializations | 1 year |
| Master’s degrees | 2 years |
| Doctorates | 3 or 4 years (according to the program) |
| Medical specializations and sub specializations | 3 years |
The entire scholarship application process must be done at the Mexican Embassy in Norway. It is important to note that the application period will remain active until September 23th, 2016.
