In a collaborative announcement released through Haiti’s Ministry of Foreign Affairs, the Mexican government and El Colegio de la Frontera Norte (El COLEF), a leading Mexican higher education institution, have officially opened applications for a competitive excellence scholarship program targeted at graduate students for the 2026-2027 academic year.
The initiative, designed to support advanced academic study at the master’s and doctoral levels, offers a diverse range of discipline-specific programs aligned with pressing global and regional challenges. At the master’s level, eligible fields of study include regional development, applied economics, cultural studies, integrated water management, public action and social development, and comprehensive environmental governance. For doctoral candidates, the program features a Doctor of Philosophy in Social Sciences with a specialized concentration in Regional Studies.
Admitted scholars will receive substantial financial support to facilitate their studies: all recipients are granted full exemption from tuition fees, alongside a living stipend to cover basic subsistence costs during their program of study, in line with current institutional scholarship regulations.
Prospective applicants have access to full program details and official registration through El COLEF’s dedicated graduate admissions portal, available at https://posgrado.colef.mx/ingreso/. All application documentation must be submitted no later than the May 15, 2026 deadline. The 2026-2027 academic year is scheduled to kick off on September 1, 2026 for all successful candidates.
