Consequently, it is essential that recipients bring enough funds for living expenses for at least the first 30 days.

The monthly-allowance payment day is stipulated in the annual schedule. In accordance with said schedule, all scholarship grantees accredited with institutions in the metropolitan area (Mexico City) must go to sign the corresponding payroll list at the offices of the Directorate for Academic Exchange. Scholarship grantees studying in the interior of the Republic must send – via fax or e-mail – confirmation of receipt of their allowance payment. For said purpose and at the moment of being documented, they will be given a simple form prepared by the Directorate for Academic Exchange.

SELECTION PROCESS
Is divided into two stages:

* Preselection in the candidate`s country.
* Definitive selection by the related competent authorities in Mexico.

AWARDING OF THE SCHOLARSHIPS
Scholarships for the year 2008 will be granted by the SRE (Ministry of Foreign Affairs) through its General Directorate for Cultural Affairs and the grantees of said scholarships will be notified between November 15, 2007, and February 29, 2008. The results shall be delivered in writing at the corresponding Mexican Embassy.

FORMALITIES
* IMMIGRATION
Once candidates have received official written notification of the scholarship award, they must then proceed to process all the formalities stipulated before the corresponding Mexican Embassy or Consulate. Grantees must be documented as scholarship students with Immigration Form 3 (FM3 Subsection VII) – not as tourists. Scholarship grantees may not travel on diplomatic or official passports.

* TRAVEL TO MEXICO
If international air travel forms part of the scholarship benefits, the airline ticket will be arranged by the General Subdirectorate for Program Planning and Control of the General Directorate for Cultural Affairs and sent to the grantee`s country. The Mexican Embassy will inform the grantee of the ticket details. In the event international air travel is not included in the scholarship benefits, grantees must travel to Mexico at their own expense.

* ARRIVAL IN MEXICO
Upon arrival in Mexico City, scholarship grantees must report in person to the offices of the General Directorate for Cultural Affairs located at: Plaza Juárez N°20, Piso 4 (Fourth Floor), Col. Centro, 06010, México, D.F. between 09:00 and 13:30 hours to arrange the necessary formalities for their registration as SRE scholarship grantees.

Upon completion of their studies, scholarship grantees must hand in to the Directorate for Academic Exchange of the General Directorate for Cultural Affairs a scanned copy of the cover sheet and an electronic version of their thesis – in the case of formal school studies and research students must hand in their final work. If applicable, they must also request the airline ticket to return to their native countries and must personally close out their account with the HSBC bank.

OBLIGATIONS OF SCHOLARSHIP RECIPIENTS
These can be found in the document entitled “Rules Applicable to Grantees of SRE Scholarships for Foreigners”, which grantees must sign at the moment of receiving the scholarship award and thereby promise to abide by the contents. Of the latter, the most important are to:
* Respect Mexican laws.
* Maintain a minimum grade point average of 8.5 in their studies.
* Provide the Directorate for Academic Exchange with periodic reports on their academic activities and/or research.
* Reside in Mexico for the duration of the scholarship.

Mexican Government scholarships are intended for nationals of other countries to benefit from the experience and knowledge acquired in our country. Nonetheless, they are also conceived as multiplying mechanisms insofar as scholarship grantees return to their native countries and pass on their experience. Hence, it is an essential requirement that grantees return to their homeland upon termination of their studies in Mexico.

APPLICATION FORMS
There are three types of application forms: Application Form “A”, which is used for all postgraduate and multilateral programs; Application Form “B”, used exclusively for Special Programs, with the exception of Professional Practice programs and the program for Asia, Pacific, Africa, and the Middle East; and Application Form “C”, which is used for Bachelor`s studies.

RECEPTION OF DOCUMENTS
Candidates` documentation must be presented in dossier form before the Mexican Embassy located in the candidates` country of origin or before the concurrent corresponding Embassy through the Ministry of Foreign Affairs and/or the local government Institution designated for said purpose (between February 15 and July 31, 2007).
