Fulbright Graduate Degree Award - Mexico

The Fulbright Graduate Degree Award supports U.S. citizens pursuing master's or doctoral degrees at Mexican universities. The U.S.-Mexico Commission for Educational Exchange (COMEXUS) provides funding for up to four academic semesters (2 years) for master's programs or up to six academic semesters (3 years) for doctoral programs. Selected candidates receive funding for their first two semesters, with subsequent support subject to academic performance and fund availability. Benefits include monthly maintenance stipend of 24,000-28,000 Mexican pesos, up to 50,000 pesos in tuition per year, one round-trip ticket between the United States and Mexico, and various additional allowances. Applications are accepted in all fields except medicine, veterinary medicine, and dentistry, with particular encouragement for STEM fields, Public Policy, and Public Administration. The program requires advanced Spanish language proficiency and candidates must secure affiliation with a Mexican university prior to receiving the final grant offer. Grantees participate in mandatory orientations and enrichment seminars, with placement restrictions in certain areas based on U.S. State Department travel advisories.
