It is of interest of the Graduation Program to support the actions from the Brazilian government at the qualification of professors and researchers from countries with which Brazil keeps Cultural and/or Educational Cooperation Agreements. Foreign candidates living in Brazil will undergo the same Selection Process as the Brazilian candidates, while the ones living abroad will be evaluated exclusively by Curriculum vitae, School History and Recommendation Letter(s) Analysis, which must be forwarded at the moment of the New Student Selection. Foreign students approved at the Selection Process may request the Coordination of Training of Higher Education Graduate Foundation (CAPES) for a Scholarship Grant for Fulltime Postgraduate Courses (PEC-PG).
