Doctoral Scholarships and Short Postdoctoral Stays

The Doctoral Scholarships and Short Postdoctoral Stays programme funds doctoral training and short postdoctoral visits for university teaching staff from Latin American institutions associated with Fundación Carolina. The scheme operates on a co-financing basis negotiated in bilateral cooperation agreements, with Fundación Carolina covering 60% of the total cost and the Latin American university covering the remaining 40%. Spanish public universities frequently waive tuition fees for recipients and some also contribute to monthly maintenance.
