The OAS Scholarship and Training Programs within the Department of Human Development Education and Employment of the Executive Secretariat for Integral Development offers scholarships for undergraduate and graduate-level studies, short-term professional training courses and innovative online training opportunities for citizens/permanent residents of the OAS Member States. Its goal is to increase access to affordable quality higher education for citizens of the Americas and support member states.

The 2 main OAS Scholarship Programs are:

The OAS Academic Scholarship Program (ASP) which offers scholarships of up to US $10,000 per academic year for the pursuit of master's Degrees, Doctoral Degrees, and Graduate Research leading to a graduate degree; and for the last two years of undergraduate studies solely to citizens and residents of the English-speaking Caribbean and Suriname. It was established in 1958 and is the oldest OAS Scholarship Program. This program follows the OAS Manual of Procedures for the Scholarship and Training Program.

The Partnerships Program for Education and Training (PAEC) offers attractive scholarship opportunities, tuition waivers, and discounts for academic studies, with the support of partner institutions in OAS Member States and around the world. Scholarships are offered for professional development, undergraduate, and graduate programs leading to an academic degree or certificate. Operating since 2010, the PAEC is administered per the respective corporation agreement in line with the principles set forth in the OAS Manual of Procedures for the Scholarship and Training Program.
