Finding scholarships

Scholarships in Argentinean universities are awarded according to academic performance and the student's personal situation. It is necessary to obtain information from each individual university about the possibilities and requirements for scholarships.
An example with the Austral University: students wishing financial aid should follow the pre-university program, arrange a personal interview and send a letter to the appropriate authorities explaining the reasons for the request. A financial aid request form must be included. In general, scholarships cover from 25-75% of fees.
