Spanish Government Scholarships

As with any socialized nation with a sound economy, Spain has a number of scholarships available to both national and international students. Cooperative scholarships are available to citizens of former Spanish colonies, while Spanish citizens are eligible for various foreign and local study opportunities. Below is a sampling of Spanish government scholarships relevant to American citizens.
  1. MAEC-AECI

    • A joint scholarship offered by the Spanish government's Ministerio de Asuntos Exteriores y de Cooperación y de la Agencia Española de Cooperación Internacional (the Ministry of Foreign Subjects and Cooperation and the Spanish Agency of International Cooperation) provides funding for international students seeking to obtain a master or doctorate degree in Spain. For those studying in Madrid, the scholarship provides lodging at no cost and a stipend of 600 euros monthly. For study outside of Madrid, a stipend of 1,200 euros is provided. Up to 2,000 euros in tuition assistance is also granted.

    North American Language and Cultural Assistants

    • The Spanish government's Ministry of Education provides grants to North American Language and Cultural Assistants for a fully funded year in Spain. The grant is awarded to both American and Canadian citizens--what happened to Mexico in Spain's estimation of North America is unclear--who are native speakers of either English or French. Language and Cultural Assistants spend an academic year in Spain helping Spanish citizens learn English and French through cultural context, while learning about Spanish culture and language. Candidates will receive a minimum allowance of 700 euros monthly and should have an undergraduate degree and intermediate level of Spanish.

    Becas de Ministerio de Asuntos Exteriores y de Cooperación

    • The Spanish government's Ministry of Foreign Subjects and Cooperation offers a number of scholarships ("becas" in Spanish) for students of all stripes. A cooperative program run with Mexico provides scholarships for Mexican doctorate and postdoctorate students to study in Spain, and Spanish doctorate and post-doctorate students to pursue studies in Mexico. Information on all Spanish government scholarships can be found through local Spanish Embassies in the United States, a list of which can be found at the following URL: http://www.educacion.es/exterior/usa/en/intro/contact.shtml.
