I prepare Latin American students to win scholarships abroad

There are five stages: understanding your academic stage, filtering by eligibility, building the profile, preparing the documents and applying. What almost nobody knows is that the third stage takes six to twelve months, and that it starts long before the call opens. That is why most people arrive late, not for lack of talent.

Most are awarded by governments, universities or foundations, each with its own committee and calendar. Nearly all open once a year, ask for specific documents and assess your whole profile, not just your grades. Many require a commitment to return home. What they cover varies from one to another, and sometimes between programmes inside the same scholarship.

No. Scholarships are awarded by governments, universities and foundations, each with its own committee. What I do is prepare you to compete for them: choosing the ones that fit your profile, building your academic narrative and assembling an application that holds up against the rest.

It depends on the scholarship and often on the specific programme within it. There are calls in Spanish, Portuguese, French and other languages, and some scholarships fund a language year before the degree begins. In your session we review what each option you are interested in requires.

Many scholarships publish none. Others do, usually between thirty and forty for a master’s. I work with school students and also with professionals who have been working for fifteen years: age changes the strategy, not the possibility.

All of Latin America. My students are in Ecuador, Peru, Colombia, Mexico, Honduras, Cuba and several other countries. Sessions are online and scheduled around your time zone.

That alone does not rule you out. Many calls weigh experience, leadership and the return plan more heavily than the transcript. What you cannot do is ignore it: it has to be compensated explicitly in the application, and that is planned.

No, and be wary of anyone who promises it. The decision belongs to a committee nobody controls. What I can guarantee is that you will apply with the right strategy, with your documents in order, and without the mistakes that eliminate most candidates before anyone reads their essay.
