To many potential and genuinely gifted scholars, a chance for free scholarship education can seem tantalizing. Especially if you are American and are unable to find sources to fund your studies abroad.
Mexico has scholarships worth billions of pesos for deserving students, but the rate of eligibility is minimal. Mexico nationalized scholarships for five thousand Mexican peso in their scholarship list for academics with excellent grades in high school.
