IFSA - Study Abroad Programs in Mexico

About Program
Embrace rich traditions on the magnificent Yucatán Peninsula.
Our Mexico programs place you in friendly, welcoming Mérida, capital of the sunshine-filled Yucatán state. Much more than a safe and pretty city, Mérida is also the center of one of Mexico’s most culturally diverse regions, influenced by Mayans, Spaniards, and other immigrants from Europe and Asia.
It’s a place where life is unhurried. From savoring authentic tacos and chatting with your homestay hosts to exploring the city’s tree-lined plazas, count on every moment here to elevate your Spanish-language skills and open your eyes to different way of living.
A highlight for many: Going back more than 1,000 years in time to trace the roots of Maya culture with a visit to a world-famous site like Chichén Itzá.

IFSA Scholarships and Financial Aid
IFSA is deeply committed to making study abroad accessible to as many students as possible. We believe that cost should never be a barrier: that’s why we offer financial support to a larger proportion of our students than any other organization.
Financial assistance is available for IFSA January term, semester, year, and summer programs. Scholarships include the IFSA First-Generation Scholarship and IFSA Diversity Scholarship, as well as program-specific scholarships in Australia, Ireland, New Zealand, and the UK. We also offer $2,000 IFSA State School Grants and IFSA Minority Serving Institution Grants to all qualified applicants.
Once you’ve started your IFSA program application, you’ll gain access to IFSA’s scholarship application.
