OAS Scholarships for Undergraduate, Graduate Studies, and Graduate Research – 2025 Application Cycle

The Ministry, in collaboration with the Organization of American States (OAS), is excited to announce the opening of its 2025 Scholarship Program, offering invaluable educational opportunities for both undergraduate and graduate students. This program aims to foster academic growth and development by providing financial assistance to deserving individuals pursuing higher education. The Ministry encourages all eligible candidates to explore these opportunities and apply for scholarships that align with their academic aspirations. This initiative underscores the Ministry’s commitment to investing in human capital and empowering individuals to reach their full potential.

The OAS scholarship program encompasses two primary categories: Undergraduate Academic Studies and Graduate Studies, which further includes both Academic Studies and Graduate Research. For undergraduate studies, applicants must currently be enrolled in an accredited program and be on track to graduate within two academic years. This requirement ensures that scholarship recipients are nearing the completion of their undergraduate degrees, maximizing the impact of the financial assistance. Graduate study applicants must have completed at least one year of their program or possess an official acceptance letter from their chosen university. This prerequisite demonstrates a commitment to pursuing graduate-level education and provides a clear pathway for the scholarship funds to support continued academic progress.

To facilitate a transparent and accessible application process, comprehensive information regarding eligibility criteria, required documentation, and specific program details is available online. Prospective undergraduate applicants are encouraged to visit https://www.oas.org/en/scholarships/specaf_2025.asp for detailed information specific to undergraduate scholarships offered through the OAS. This webpage provides a comprehensive overview of the program, outlining the benefits, eligibility requirements, and application procedures.

This resource provides a detailed description of the graduate scholarship program, outlining the different fields of study supported, the application process, and the selection criteria.

The application process for both undergraduate and graduate scholarships mandates online submission. Applicants are required to complete the online application form, ensuring all requested information is accurately provided. Upon completion, applicants must print a copy of their submitted application. This printed copy, along with all supporting documentation as outlined in the respective program guidelines, should be submitted to the Human Resource Management Department for processing. The direct links for online applications are: Undergraduate – https://www.oas.org/fms/Announcement.aspx?id=1152&Type=1&Lang=Eng and Graduate – https://www.oas.org/fms/Announcement.aspx?id=1151&Type=1&Lang=Eng. This dual submission process ensures that applications are formally received and reviewed by the Ministry, facilitating a streamlined and efficient evaluation process.

The deadline for submitting all application materials to the Human Resource Management Department is March 11, 2025. Applicants are strongly encouraged to submit their documents well in advance of the deadline to avoid any last-minute complications. The Human Resource Management Department is located at Government Headquarters. Complete applications received after the deadline will not be considered. Therefore, adhering to the stipulated deadline is crucial for ensuring eligibility for the scholarship program. The Ministry and the OAS are committed to providing equal opportunities to all qualified applicants and encourage a diverse pool of candidates to apply for these valuable scholarships.

This scholarship program, facilitated through the collaboration between the Ministry and the OAS, represents a significant investment in the future of the nation’s workforce. By providing financial support to undergraduate and graduate students, the program aims to equip individuals with the knowledge, skills, and experience necessary to contribute meaningfully to their communities and the broader society. The Ministry recognizes education as a catalyst for progress and development and remains dedicated to supporting initiatives that empower individuals through access to quality higher education opportunities. This scholarship program is a testament to that commitment and reflects the shared vision of the Ministry and the OAS in fostering intellectual growth and promoting academic excellence.
