All scholarship applications will be submitted to the Mexican embassy or concurrent embassy for the applicant’s country through that country’s Ministry of Foreign Affairs or Education and/or the government institution appointed for such end.

Only complete applications that meet all the requirements will be processed. The copies of the documents must be authenticated and apostille-stamped when required by the host institution as a condition to accept the applicant.
