FUNED

Georgetown McDonough partners with the Mexican Foundation for Education, Technology and Science (FUNED), a nonprofit organization founded in 1993 by Mexican businessmen. It is an authorized grantee by the Tax Administration Service. To date, they have supported more than 5,500 students. Mexican Citizens with a Bachelor’s degree with a minimum 8/10 GPA and financial need will be eligible. FUNED provides up to 40 percent of total cost not to exceed a $15,000 USD loan. Awardees are given a six month grace period to repay and five years to pay back and 5.75% IR once they have completed their program. If awarded through FUNED, students are also eligible through CONACYT to receive a merit and need-based scholarship of $10-40,000 USD. McDonough will provide merit scholarships to eligible applicants based on the holistic scholarship review process. Students can apply to FUNED starting in January. The second call for applications opens April 20th and will close on June 26th. The grant FUNED gives is mainly for tuition. The FUNED-CONACYT scholarship is a complimentary scholarship by which students fund their masters with different funding sources in order to afford to pay the first part of tuition and to use FUNED´s grant later in the year.
