MEXAUSTIN SCHOLARSHIP

MEXAUSTIN IS FOR YOU

Seeing a need to invest in their citizens living abroad in the United States, the Mexican government began to focus on education by creating an academic scholarship. Wanting to partner with a local nonprofit, the Consulate General of Mexico in Austin sought out Foundation Communities because of their stellar reputation in the community and their vast work in college support services.

The goal of our partnership is to see the next generation of Latino and Latina students excel in higher education. We recognize there may be many barriers that a student may have to overcome while on their road to seeking higher education.

It is our hope that with the support of local community leaders, the next generation of Latino and Latina scholars will be equipped to bring about positive change to our communities both domestic and abroad.
