1) Does LASPAU offer scholarships?
Since 1964, LASPAU has administered scholarship and loan programs for a wide variety of sponsoring agencies in Latin America and the Caribbean. However, LASPAU itself does not offer scholarships, fellowships, or loans. Interested parties apply directly to sponsoring agencies and should contact those agencies to request information on criteria for eligibility and other application-related information. For further information, visit the section on Grant Opportunities.

2) What does "LASPAU" stand for?
LASPAU originally was an acronym for Latin American Scholarship Program of American Universities, but as the organization's scope of activities changed, the name was changed to better reflect our services. It is now LASPAU: Academic and Professional Programs for the Americas. Although "LASPAU" no longer serves as an acronym, it has been retained as part of the name since it is well-recognized across the Americas. For more information on LASPAU's history, see the About LASPAU section.
