Scholarships
Program
Cuban
approach regarding the formation of Third Worlds technicians
and professionals has been of unselfish solidarity and cooperation,
to the extent that Cuba in the eighties is the country with the
highest per capita of foreign scholarships holders. In spite of
the difficult conditions imposed by the Special Period , continuity
was given to the Scholarships Program, although to a lesser degree.
In
harmony with the steady political will to continue contributing
to the formation of human resources from Third World countries,
different means of cooperation have been established. The application
of the Comprehensive Health Care Delivery Program is among them,
as well as the Latin American School of Medical Sciences was created
as part of the Program. Moreover, the International School of Sports
and Physical Education was inaugurated on September , 2000. On the
other hand, the Plan of Scholarships directed to technical, economic
and humanistic careers continued.
The
scholarships granted by the Cuban Government include free of charge
lodging, feeding and studies in equal footing with the Cuban scholarship
holders
