Scholarships

Master and Doctorate Scholarships:

Every year we have some scholarships available for Masters and Doctorate (CAPES and CNPq) candidates from our course. To apply for a scholarship the student should express its interest by replying "yes" in the "You are a candidate for the scholarship via INPE?" questionnaire.

For entry in March 2020 (the 2019 selection process), we will have 17 master's and 5 doctoral available scholarships. The number of scholarships may be higher if some teachers get extra Project scholarships.

Doctorate Scholarships for foreigners:

Foreign students have two options:

1. They can enroll in our normal selection process and compete for one of the scholarships offered by the course.
