Scholarships and Grants

CCP-P regularly requests CAPES scholarships; however, it is limited, and it is not possible to commit to grant scholarships to all students.

In case of insufficient CAPES scholarships to meet the demand, the CCP-P shall decide about the grant.

The advisor and the graduate student shall submit a scholarship request to funding agencies, such as CNPq and FAPESP.

Note: As required by the funding agencies, for receiving a Master’s or Ph.D. scholarship, the student shall certify that he has no employment or paid activity and fully dedicate to the course activities.
