Although the tuition is 100% covered, it can be very challenging for students to study full-time while trying to cover the high cost of living in Mexico City or Queretaro. We look for “Room Angels” to assist the selected university student with room and board costs. The contribution amount is $21,500 pesos per year. The student will receive $20,000 pesos, which will be distributed in two payments at the start of each semester. The remaining $1,500 pesos covers LCF’s administration of this program.
