UNAM opens registration for more than 90,000 scholarships through new platform
The National Autonomous University of Mexico, known as UNAM, has opened registration for more than 90,000 scholarships.
The scholarships include support for living costs, food, academic achievement and students facing academic difficulties.
From October 12 to 19, students can review the calls for applications and say they are interested in applying.
