Mexico Scholarship: CONACYT

The National Council for Science and Technology (CONACYT) is an organization funded by the Mexican government that has been encouraging the development of professionals of the highest quality for more than 30 years. The University of Toronto and the Government of the United Mexican States' National Council of Science and Technology (CONACYT) have renewed their partnership by signing an agreement to support up to 150 scholarships over the period of a 5-year agreement (starting Fall 2018) for Mexican students to pursue doctoral stream education at the University of Toronto. This scholarship program supports Mexican citizens pursuing full-time research stream master's or doctoral programs at the University of Toronto. The CONACYT scholarship covers tuition fees, including the fee differential between international and domestic tuition rates for eligible programs under the UofT-CONACYT agreement. Mexican state governments and other national government agencies also offer additional forms of scholarship assistance to Mexican nationals in partnership with CONACYT. Applicants must be Mexican citizens with an up-to-date firma Certificate from a Servicio de Administración Tributaria (SAT) office and have received an official offer of admission to or be registered in a full-time research stream master's or doctoral program at the University of Toronto. The scholarship is available for research-stream programs that provide graduate funding, while professional and course-based master's and doctoral programs are not eligible under the agreement.
