One of every three students receives financial aid to study at our institution.
You can also access our Financial Aid Program which grants funds through scholarships and loans to students with high grade point averages and with limited economic resources.
If you wish to study one of our undergraduate programs, we offer two types of financial aid: scholarships or loans, or a combination of a both. The scholarships granted by ITAM do not impose any conditions other than maintaining a high academic level. This means that if you receive a scholarship, you are not obligated to work for ITAM to reimburse the scholarship or to pay for it on finishing your studies.
Scholarships
You can apply for one of several types of scholarships:
- ITAM Scholarships and SEP Scholarships
- Special Scholarships (the Baillères Scholarship, the Miguel Mancera Scholarship for Sustenance, the Nissan Scholarship for Engineering, the García Sámano Scholarship for Law).
- Scholarships from companies (Procter&Gamble, Siemens, JPMorgan).
ITAM Scholarships and SEP Scholarships
ITAM Scholarships *
Our Institution grants these scholarships as of the first semester and they range from 10% to 90% of the tuition fees. They are granted every term and must be renewed at the beginning of the following term.
The requirements are as follows:
- Pass the Admissions Exam or have a pase directo (given to students from approved schools)
- Have a high school grade point average of 9.0 (nine) or higher
- Show that financial assistance is needed, that is, explain the reason(s) the student cannot cover tuition fees. We verify this situation by means of a socio-economic study
- Wait for the results of the Scholarship and Financial Aid Committee's analysis of the application
To have this scholarship every term, you need to maintain your grade point average and show that you need financial assistance.

This works along the same guidelines and conditions as ITAM Scholarships.
Special Scholarships *
Baillères Scholarship
This scholarship is granted to new students that have obtained the highest scores on the admissions exam in each one of the programs and that demonstrate economic necessity. Again, we verify this situation by means of a socio-economic background check.

Two other requirements to obtain the Mancera Scholarship are that the student is not working and that he has financial aid to pay tuition fees.
Once the scholarship is awarded, the recipients will receive during the time they are studying at ITAM, including vacation periods, and for an additional three months while they write their thesis.
