Francisco Cantú
Full Scholarships
The Department of Social Sciences at UC3M funds four full scholarships for the Master’s in Social Sciences.
The IC3JM-Francisco Cantú Full Scholarship (not available for the 2025-26 academic year) commemorates his remarkable legacy, honors his memory, and seeks to support graduate students in their pursuit of an outstanding academic career. This scholarship is awarded to the best academic record among the students who have been selected for a full scholarship.
Francisco Cantú was an exceptionally talented, humble, and generous scholar with a genuine ability to identify relevant research questions and tackle them using cutting-edge methods. His groundbreaking work on electoral fraud in Latin America was published in top Political Science journals before he turned 40. He spent a semester as a visiting scholar at the IC3JM, where he left an indelible mark on its community.

Tuition waiver
The IC3JM funds three tuition waivers for the two-year duration of the Master’s program, with an amount equivalent to the tuition fee for a European Union student (approximately 2,900 euros).
Students from non-EU countries will be required to pay the difference between the total cost of tuition and the grant.
Remember that you can apply for both the full scholarship and the tuition waiver grant at the same time.
