Inter-American Institute for Cooperation on Agriculture

Scholarships

Ibero-American University Foundation (FUNIBER)

As a result of negotiations undertaken with the Ibero-American University Foundation (FUNIBER) and with a view to fulfilling our commitment to develop closer ties with the academic sector, while bolstering the capacities of our team members in the various IICA Delegations, the Institute has signed the IICA-FUNIBER scholarship agreement.
FUNIBER utilizes study and continuous education programs and supports activities for ongoing training and technological extension services, in order to develop critical and active citizens, by contributing to personal growth, respect and the creation of a national, regional and local identity.
The main objective is to foster and promote activities related to lifelong higher education, technological extension services and the improvement of the academic and scientific potential of Ibero-American universities, via remote, online learning.
The scholarship program will provide 50 partial scholarships in each of the countries of Ibero-America, or wherever the Inter-American Institute for Cooperation on Agriculture considers it may be useful to undertake concrete training actions.
