🇦🇷 Argentina · Scholarships
Scholarships and financial aid for studying in Argentina — government, university, and international programs.
Quick answer
Argentina has fewer centralized scholarships for incoming international students than some countries; funding comes mainly through individual university programs, bilateral agreements with your home country, and research grants (for example via CONICET for doctoral and postdoctoral work). Check each university's international office and your country's agreements, and apply by the deadline.
Argentina's flagship student support is Becas Progresar, a national scholarship for eligible students in secondary, tertiary and university education. Universities and provinces run additional grants.
- Becas Progresar supports eligible students with monthly stipends tied to academic progress.
- Public universities are tuition-free at undergraduate level, lowering the cost of study.
- Eligibility and application windows are set nationally and published each cycle.
