Scholarships

The PPGNM currently relies on the granting of CAPES-Social Demand scholarships for Master’s and Doctoral Degree or from development agencies such as CNPq and FAPESP, depending on the approval of submissions.
Regarding CAPES social demand grants, they are approved, continued, and/or renewed annually, respecting the rules of the development agency. These scholarships are intended for students who are regularly enrolled in the PPG for a maximum period of 24 months for Master’s and 48 months for Doctorate, and the renewal/continuation of the scholarship by the student is evaluated according to the criteria established by the PPG Coordinating Committee (CCP). We emphasize that scholarship quotas are released and granted to new students when the current scholarship holder defends his/her dissertation and/or thesis, gives up the scholarship, and obtains some employment relationship.
