The Brazilian government has increased by 5% the number of scholarships to finance master's and PhD students

Through CAPES, a Brazilian governmental institution that promotes the training of academic researchers, Brazil will provide 84,300 scholarships in 2022.

 

The increase comes in the wake of the new policy that seeks to improve the distribution of financial resources and avoid concentration on already consolidated courses.

 

The North, Northeast and Central-West regions registered growth of 9%, 6% and 4%, respectively, in the number of training scholarships. Doctoral scholarships will grow by 13%, reaching 45,185 researchers.
