With a long history of welcoming students from Mexico, we are pleased to share three scholarship options offering funding support.

FIDERH Scholarships

FIDERH (Fondo para el Desarrollo de Recursos Humanos) is a federal trust fund, administered by the Bank of Mexico, offering financing for speciality, master’s, or doctoral Studies at universities in Mexico and abroad.

As part of the agreement between FIDERH and Cardiff University, eligible FIDERH postgraduate students will be awarded a scholarship in the form of a 25% tuition fee discount.

FUNED Scholarships

FUNED (Fundación Mexicana para la Educación, la Tecnología y la Ciencia) offers scholarships and grants for high-achieving Mexican students to study postgraduate master’s degree programmes.

As part of the agreement between FUNED and Cardiff University, eligible FUNED postgraduate students will be awarded a scholarship in the form of a 25% tuition fee discount.

Vice-Chancellor's Postgraduate International Scholarship 2026

Our Vice-Chancellor's Postgraduate International Scholarship offers funding to international students across a range of postgraduate taught programmes.

Eligible Mexican students will receive an award of £6,000 in the form of a tuition fee discount. This award can be combined with funding from FUNED and FIDERH, including their respective tuition fee discounts.
