The Rowe Fund grants interest-free loans of up to $15,000 dollars to Latin American and Caribbean students, who have been admitted or are currently enrolled in senior/junior years of undergraduate, master’s, or doctorate programs at universities in the United States. This supplementary financial aid helps pay a portion of their tuition or living expenses.
Applications are received and considered year-round. Prospective applicants need to meet the eligibility requirements, complete the online application form, and upload the supporting documents into the platform by the fifth of the month they’d wish their application to be reviewed.
We hope that you find this information useful, and will share it as needed!
