Mexico's scholarship options in our database all come through one body, the Mexican Agency for International Development Cooperation (AMEXCID), part of the Government of Mexico. There are six entries. Two of them are scholarships a Pakistani student can aim at directly: a fully funded excellence scholarship for master's study and research stays, and a broader government scholarship programme covering specialization, master's, doctoral and medical specialty studies. The other four are project calls for Canadian Indigenous academic groups, which is a different audience.
So this hub is short on choice but long on clarity. If you are a Pakistani student looking at Mexico, two of these pages matter most, and the rest are worth reading only so you can recognise them and move on.

Deadlines marked as varying are not fixed in our data. Always confirm the current date on the official site before you plan around it.
The fully funded Mexican option
Mexican Government Excellence Scholarship (AMEXCID) is the clearest offer here. According to our data it covers tuition, a monthly stipend, medical insurance and transportation. It is open to foreign students pursuing academic mobility, full master's programmes, or research stays at Mexican universities. The annual call typically closes in late June, around June 22, so it is the one entry with a real calendar date to work toward. Read the full details page, then the guide.
For a Pakistani applicant, a package that includes insurance and transport is worth a lot, since those are the costs that usually sink an otherwise funded plan. The tight window is the catch. Missing a late-June deadline means waiting for the next cycle, so start gathering documents well before then.
The wider AMEXCID scholarship programme
Mexican Government Scholarships (AMEXCID) is listed as full or partial funding, with a deadline that varies and should be confirmed with the local Mexican Embassy. For you, that means checking with the Mexican Embassy that handles Pakistan rather than relying on a date in a blog post. The programme supports specialization, master's, doctoral and medical specialty studies at various Mexican institutions, which makes it the better fit if you are aiming at a doctorate or a medical specialty rather than a master's only. See full details.
This entry has no application status recorded in our data, so treat it as something to verify, not something to assume is open.
AMEXCID project calls for Canadian Indigenous academic groups
The remaining four entries are funding opportunities offered by the Government of Mexico through AMEXCID for Canadian Indigenous academic groups. All four are marked full or partial, with varying deadlines and applications open. They are written for a specific group, and nothing in the data suggests Pakistani individual students are the intended applicants.
- 2026 Call for Projects of Canadian Indigenous Academic Groups (Mexico) is the 2026 call, with applications open as part of that call. full details.
- Call for Projects of Canadian Indigenous Academic Groups (AMEXCID) is a funding opportunity for the same group. full details.
- Call for Projects of Canadian Indigenous Academic Groups (AMEXCID) is described as a grant opportunity for Canadian Indigenous academic groups. full details.
- Mexican Agency for International Development Cooperation (AMEXCID) Call for Projects (Mexico) covers the project calls AMEXCID administers, such as the 2026 Call for Projects of Canadian Indigenous Academic Groups. full details.
Read these if you work in a university or research group that has a Canadian Indigenous partner. Otherwise, skip them and spend your time on the two options above.
Choosing between the Mexican options
The decision is simpler than the list suggests. If you want a master's or a research stay and can meet a late-June deadline, start with the excellence scholarship. If you want a doctorate or a medical specialty, or you missed that window, look at the broader AMEXCID scholarship and ask the embassy when it opens for Pakistani applicants.
Prepare documents before you know which call you will use. Degree certificates, transcripts, identity papers and a clear study plan are needed almost everywhere, and attested copies take time in Pakistan. Our documents checklist for international scholarships lists what to gather, and the scholarships guide for Pakistani students explains how to compare offers across countries.
