Among the applications received, the Program Committee carries out a selection process. Its general rule is for the group of financial assistance recipients to be as diverse as possible in terms of the sectors they represent (academia, representatives of companies, civil society, governments and private sector) gender and nationalities of the region, prioritizing people who have not yet won a scholarship LACIGF in the past.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
