ABOUT THE PROGRAM IN MEXICO
With a desire to provide scholarships in Latin America, the Gallagher Foundation launched our Mexican program in 2004. Mexico not only met all of our criteria for selecting a country but the warm, welcoming culture seemed like the right place to build a community of Scholars. From the start, our Scholar community in Mexico welcomes our newest selected Scholars right when they arrive on campus.
In Mexico, all of our Scholars attend Tecnologico de Monterrey (ITESM), Monterrey campus. Inspired by MIT, ITESM was selected as the partner University. ITESM orients towards technology and has state of the art facilities. The administration led by Victor Gutiérrez at ITESM continues to support our program.
