The Rowe Fund Student loan program of the Organization of American States (OAS) is offering scholarships for Peruvian women to help finance their higher education in the DC metropolitan area (The Mac Lean Scholarship Fund).

• Be a female Peruvian national studying in any university in the Washington DC metropolitan area
• Have a GPA of at least 3.0
• Be enrolled full-time in a degree program at an accredited university in the Washington DC metropolitan area
• Possess a Student Academic or Exchange Visitor visa (J, F, or M)
