Beca Gastronomía Prehispánica

The Beca Gastronomía Prehispánica is a funding and mentorship programme for students in gastronomy, postgraduate students, or young professionals pursuing a project on the research, rescue, or modern application of pre-Columbian Mexican cuisine. It aims to reduce financial barriers and connect participants with mentors, including chefs, food historians, and anthropologists, to develop a final project related to this field.

Fully funded tuition coverage (full or majority), monthly stipend, access to expert mentors, fieldwork opportunities, and development of a final project (research/documentation, innovative recipes, or product line).

Mexican citizens or permanent residents, aged roughly 18 to 30, enrolled in a formal gastronomy, nutrition, food anthropology, agronomy with a focus on food, or related program, or young professionals with a clear project in this field.

Applications are competitive and require a detailed project proposal and supporting documents; specific steps vary by call for proposals.
