Technological factors that influence the obtaining a scholarship

The objective of this work is to analyze the impact of academic and technological factors that influence the obtaining of a scholarship for students of higher education. The World Bank and the National Development Plan for Mexico 2013-2018 indicate that Information and Communication Technology skills in education should be encouraged to generate higher income. A logistic regression model with data of 1182 students was carried out. The variables are: endogenous (scholarship) and exogenous variables:(semester and computer tools). The results found indicate that the use of Haiku Deck software and participation in social networks increase the probability of obtaining a scholarship. It is concluded that that use of multimedia software in the universities must be promoted and teachers should be trained to encourage greater use of social networks in education.
