IE Foundation and Fundación Casa de México Launch Transformative Scholarship for Mexican Talent
A new alliance between IE Foundation and Fundación Casa de México en España has led to the creation of a unique scholarship program aimed at empowering a new generation of Mexican leaders committed to creativity, culture, and the humanities.
IE Foundation and Fundación Casa de México en España, with the generous support of renowned businessman and philanthropist Don Valentín Diez Morodo, have launched the IE – Casa de México Scholarships for the Humanities, Creativity, and Design. This initiative is designed to offer transformative educational opportunities to talented young Mexicans who are driven by purpose and committed to making a positive impact.
With a clear and ambitious vision, the program seeks to develop the full human and professional potential of Mexican talent and to nurture socially responsible leaders equipped with the skills and mindset to drive positive change, spark innovation, and promote new ideas in multicultural environments.
A Shared Vision for Mexican Excellence
This collaboration is rooted in a shared commitment by both foundations: to champion education as a catalyst for social transformation, and to invest in young talent as a key driver of the future.
Established in early 2025, the scholarship is open to Mexican nationals admitted to master's programs at IE University. It targets students who demonstrate academic excellence, a passion for culture, design, creativity, and the humanities, proven leadership skills, entrepreneurial spirit, community engagement, and a clear commitment to contributing positively to Mexico upon completion of their degree.
The program will offer up to 10 scholarships per academic year, covering up to 100% of tuition and living expenses, based on financial need, for students pursuing master’s degrees in fields related to design, humanities, and/or sustainability.
Investing in Mexico’s Future
This new initiative builds on the momentum created by the Valentín Diez Morodo Scholarship Fund for Excellence, launched in 2021, reinforcing a long-standing commitment to supporting Mexican talent.
IE Foundation is deeply grateful for the close collaboration with Fundación Casa de México and the Nemesio Diez Foundation, and we especially recognize the invaluable dedication of Don Valentín Diez Morodo. His unwavering commitment to advancing Mexican talent has played a crucial role in shaping the next generation of globally minded leaders with a strong purpose of local impact.
