Large international universities are increasingly competing to attract the best Mexican students. The British Council, responsible for marketing UK degrees overseas, last year proclaimed that it had overtaken the US, training more Mexicans who were in receipt of government scholarships. Richard C. Levin, Yale's president, leading a delegation here this week that included Mexico's former president Ernesto Zedillo, announced a special scholarship designed to help Yale compete more effectively with other US universities. "Harvard and Yale are all about competition, but we share a common agenda of wanting to be the best place in the world to be educated,", Mr Levin said in an interview with the Financial Times. "It's both an opportunity and a responsibility." Under the joint programme announced this week with Mexico's National Council on Science and Technology, Mexicans admitted to any PhD programme at Yale will receive a full tuition waiver plus a $15,000 (E16,400, �10,300) stipend. Mexico is of "great significance" to Yale, said Mr Levin, "not only because we are neighbours but also because of Mexico's growing importance as a trading partner, its emerging role in world politics and the richness of its multicultural heritage". At a reception for 300 alumni at a reception at Mexico City's Four Seasons hotel, Yale trotted out scholars in Mexican art history, continental ecology and free trade and a host of influential alumni to convince the crush of local media how influential the university had been in shaping Mexican policy. It is also hoping the influence will flow north. This year, the university appointed Mr Zedillo, who implemented the North American Free Trade Agreement, to lead its Center for the Study of Globalization. It also chose a Mexican finance expert, Florencio Lopez de Silanes, to direct its new International Institute for Corporate Governance. In 2000, the university extended its policy of admitting applicants regardless of their ability to pay to foreign applicants, offering them the same financial aid opportunities as US citizens. Such programmes have helped Yale boost the percentage of its foreign students in its entering class from 3 per cent to more than 8 per cent. On the graduate level, several schools are more than one-third foreign.
