Call for Applications 2023–2024
Short-Term Research in Mexico for Graduate Students
The University of California Alianza MX (UC Alianza MX) is pleased to announce a call for applications for funding support for graduate student short-term research stays in Mexico. The purpose of the short-term stays will be for young scholars to accomplish specific laboratory, library, or field research while hosted by a partner institution in Mexico. Funds may be used to supplement existing fellowship support by covering local living expenses, round-trip travel to and from the host institution, and monthly health insurance and visa fees (if necessary).

Amounts
Awardees will receive funding up to a maximum of $800 total toward the cost of one round trip to and from the host institution, $1,500 per month toward living expenses (for up to three months), and $150 per month toward short-term health insurance (for up to three months) if not enrolled in UC SHIP during the term of the stay.
