Graduate Scholarships

HOW TO GET A SCHOLARSHIP?

Graduate students interested in obtaining a scholarship must contact the program in which they are enrolled for information on the specific requirements and procedures. Each Graduate Program is responsible for selecting students and awarding them CAPES, FAPESC and CNPq scholarships.

Other scholarship opportunities:

  • The Supplementary Student Scholarship Program at UFSC offers scholarships for graduate students admitted through affirmative action. PROPG releases the calls for applications and sends them to the Programs, which are responsible for nominating the scholarship candidates.
  • The Institutional Program for Internationalization (PrInt/CAPES-UFSC) and some international cooperation agreements also offer scholarship opportunities. For more information, visit: https://propg.ufsc.br/cin/
  • The funding agencies (CAPES, CNPq, FAPESC, among others) have various programs and scholarship possibilities for researchers and graduate students, both in Brazil and abroad. These opportunities are offered directly by the funding agencies. Therefore, we recommend that those interested in receiving a scholarship from these agencies check their websites regularly.
  • CAPES and CNPQ, through the Programa de Estudantes-Convênio de Pós-Graduação (PEC-PG), also offer specific scholarships for students from developing countries with which Brazil has a cultural and/or educational cooperation agreement.

DOCTORAL SANDWICH PROGRAM (PDSE)

NATIONAL POSTDOCTORAL RESEARCH PROGRAM (PNPD/CAPES)

The CAPES National Postdoctoral Program (PNPD/CAPES) is an institutional grant program that finances postdoctoral research in Graduate Programs (PPGs) recommended by CAPES.

The number of grants offered varies according to criteria defined by CAPES, which may take into account the Program’s performance in the quadrennial evaluation, the areas of strategic support, the region in which the HEI is located, among others. The PPGs are responsible for selecting and monitoring scholarship holders, as well as defining their objectives and activities.

The types of grants offered and other information about the PNPD/CAPES can be found at CAPES Ordinance no. 086, of 3 July 2013.
