The Rowe Fund program of the Organization of American States (OAS)

Our program aims to support Latin American and Caribbean students pursuing higher education in the United States by providing interest-free loans and supplementary scholarships.

Through the Rowe Fund, eligible Latin American or Caribbean students holding F/J visas can apply for interest-free loans of up to USD $15,000. These loans are specifically designed for students in their last two years of undergraduate or graduate studies at universities in the United States. Apply here!

Eligibility:

The supplementary scholarship is available to international students who are in their last two years of undergraduate master's or doctorate studies at an accredited university in the United States. Applicants must be eligible for and simultaneously applying for a Rowe Fund interest-free loan. Both the loan application and the supplementary scholarship application will be reviewed together. Please note that only one scholarship may be granted per student, even if the student qualifies for multiple interest-free loans.

Awards will be based on financial need, academic achievement, and the desire to contribute to the development of the Latin American and Caribbean region.

It is important to note that eligibility for a Rowe Fund interest-free loan does not guarantee receipt of the Leo S. Rowe supplementary scholarship.
