Santander Bank has launched the tenth edition of the 'Santander Iberoamerican Degree and Research Scholarships' program, which offers a total of 933 international mobility grants in Spain with 3,000 euros and 100 research grants that amount to 5,000 euros each. These grants may be requested until March 15, 2020.

This program, promoted by the entity through Santander Universities, is developed in ten different countries. In the case of Spanish undergraduate students from universities enrolled in the program who wish to access this scholarship, they may continue their studies for a semester at universities in Brazil, Chile, Mexico, Peru, Argentina, Colombia, Puerto Rico, Uruguay or Portugal.

For its part, with the Santander Iberoamerican Research Scholarships, the aim is to strengthen the mobility and exchange of young professors and researchers and doctoral students between Latin American universities and research centers "to move towards the construction of an Ibero-American space for socially responsible knowledge", Santander explains in a statement.

In this case, the stays, always in a research center or Latin American university in a country other than the one of origin attached to the program, will be two months for research professors, who must also be under 35 years of age, and four months for PhD students.

According to Santander Bank officials:

"These scholarships promote the update of the level of knowledge, the learning of new techniques and methods, the sharing of good practices and help to complete the training and scientific and technical specialization of the recipients."

In both modalities, the participating universities will be responsible for carrying out the process of selecting and assigning scholarships, according to established criteria of merit, equity, objectivity, transparency and the selection criteria that each academic institution considers.

These scholarships, which in Spain have a support of more than three million euros, are compatible with other grants or forms of financing that the beneficiaries may have received or received.
