The Graduate Program in Sustainability Science and Technology has a quota of scholarships from CAPES (REUNI and Social Demand) for the Master’s course. The criterion used for the distribution of these grants is the student’s classification regarding the final score obtained in the Admissions Examination. The fellowship will only be awarded to students formally enrolled in the program, and who express interest in receiving an institutional grant in accordance with all regulations.
