The United States Department of State will finance master’s degree scholarships for Venezuelans residing in Peru for a minimum period of two years.

The legitimate ambassador of Venezuela in Peru, Carlos Scull, announced on Wednesday, June 5, through his Instagram account, that Venezuelan professionals currently residing in Peru will be able to access scholarships that the State Department will finance under the condition that they commit to returning to their country of origin and have extensive knowledge of the English language.

The application period will begin on July 21, 2019. The rest of the requirements were published on embassy websites.

The allocated scholarships involve the Fulbright Academic Exchange Program aimed at the Venezuelan diaspora, which will not affect the number of scholarships allocated for Peru.

1. why not scholorships for working class americans at state universities?

or how about scholorships for Honduran students at Cuban medical schools?

i'm interested in the demographics of the Venezuela diaspora. maybe these are upper class kids who can afford to leave Venezuela and pay for their own education? I just don't know.

I would prefer that college for free start at home.
