The Mexican Government is inviting applications for a postgraduate scholarship from New Zealand students who are interested in undertaking postgraduate studies at participating Mexican universities and research institutes in 2012.
One postgraduate scholarship is available for New Zealand students. Scholarships cover enrolment and tuition fees (where applicable), a monthly allowance, medical insurance and domestic transport on arrival. The closing date for applications is 14 October 2011 and the results will be announced during December 2011.
The scholarships will only be granted within study programmes and educational institutions set out in the 2012 call for applications. Incomplete applications, or those that do not fully comply with the requirements, will not be accepted.
