Scholarship and Support

The PPG-ERN receives scholarships from CAPES, UENF, The Brazilian National Council of Technological and Scientific Development (Conselho Nacional de Desenvolvimento Científico e Tecnológico, CNPq), and the Research Support Foundation of the State of Rio de Janeiro (Fundação de Amparo à Pesquisa do Estado do Rio de Janeiro, FAPERJ). The scholarships are managed by the PPG-ERN and by the UENF Dean of Research and Graduate Studies, except for cases in which the advisor is responsible for scholarships that are related to research projects under his/her coordination. The scholarships have a regular duration of 24 months for the master’s degree and 48 months for the doctoral degree.

Students are granted the scholarships by merit, according to their classification in the selection process for admission to the PPG-ERN. However, scholarships are subject to institutional and funding agency availability.

The PPG-ERN receives annual funding from CAPES according to the number of students enrolled. These funds are used to maintain the basic working infrastructure of the master’s and doctoral degree programs. The students and their advisors are encouraged to seek support and research funding from external sources.
