In an effort to ensuring access and success, we are announcing the University of Oregon and IME Becas Scholarship Program as a joint effort between the Division of Undergraduate Studies, the Office of International Affairs and the Mexican Consulate in Portland. The funds are intended to support Mexican students or of Mexican heritage with an emphasis towards DREAMers for the payment of tuition fees and study materials in order to expand the opportunities of higher education among the Mexican population. In this edition, we are offering four (4) awards of $5,000.00 each.

To qualify for the UO-IME Becas Scholarship, students need to meet the following criteria:
