Eight students have received an annual grant from the Mexican government to pursue their education at Brenau University.
The $8,000 grant is funded by the Institute for Mexicans Abroad scholarship program, with 2024 marking the sixth year Brenau was awarded the grant for its Mexican American students.
“We are appreciative of the collaboration between our university and the Mexican Consulate for the IME scholarship program,” President David L. Barnett said in a press release. “Brenau matches this scholarship annually to show our commitment to this partnership. It is significant, particularly in our region and our community, to provide this opportunity to students who otherwise may not have access to higher education.”
The university matches the funds through its Miller Institute for Global Education. The Miller Institute was established in February 2022 through Pete and Cathy Miller to prepare Brenau students to meet the changing needs of the community and the world.
