Honduras Scholarship Program

In 2017 Honduras launched the Presidential Scholarship Program Honduras 2020. This financial aid initiative is structured to promote the education and professional development of young Hondurans.

This program aims to support graduate education abroad for students with academic excellence. The program gives priority to key areas under the country’s economic development strategy.  The goal is to generate new jobs and sharply boost exports by expanding and adding value to textiles, manufacturing, tourism, and business services.

Several agreements have already been signed with prestigious universities from Spain, Costa Rica and the Organizations of the American States. The Presidential Program also seeks to establish alliances with U.S. higher education institutions.  The alliances enhance professional-technical skills and student development through specialized trainings.
