AGREEMENTS

HARVARD UNIVERSITY / CONACYT / FUNDACION MEXICO EN HARVARD

 

It is important to note an agreement between HARVARD UNIVERSITY, CONACYT and the FUNDACION MEXICO EN HARVARD was signed in October 2004.

Features of this agreement are targeted specifically for Ph.D. programs in the NATURAL SCIENCES, SOCIAL SCIENCES AND HUMANITIES for all Mexican candidates accepted to HARVARD UNIVERSITY and will be effective for the academic period 2005- 2006 and thereafter. Scholarship support will cover 100% of the cost of these programs for Mexican students throughout the duration of their studies, and will include special research awards for the top natural sciences candidates, and as well include dissertation completion fellowships for students in the humanities and social sciences.

This agreement will apply to 53 Ph.D. programs at Harvard, including 14 interfaculty Ph.D. programs that link the Graduate School of Arts and Sciences, the Kennedy School of Government, and the Schools of Business, Medicine, Dental Medicine, Public Health, Design, Law and Divinity. All Ph.D programs listed in http://www.gsas.harvard.edu/programs_of_study/degree_programs_3.php are covered by the Agreement.

It is the intent of HARVARD UNIVERSITY, CONACYT and the FUNDACION MEXICO EN HARVARD to widen access to Harvard’s research programs for outstanding Mexican students, and this agreement is an innovative method of ensuring that goal.

The candidates of the PhD programs granted by the Graduate School of Arts and Sciences, Harvard University, supported by the Harvard/Conacyt/Fundación Agreement must return within 5 years after graduation, or demonstrate to the satisfaction of the Fundacion research or work directly related to Mexico during the following 10 years after graduation; otherwise the support received from the Fundación will be repayable.
