CAPES and CNPq scholarships

The Program has a limited number of CAPES scholarship quotas for Master’s and Doctorate degrees and CNPq. Therefore, when quotas are available, a selection process is carried out and announced to enrolled students via the Program’s e-mail. This selection process for ranking candidates and awarding scholarships occurs once each semester. If scholarship vacancies occur, the classification obtained in the selection process is used throughout the semester to award scholarships. If the classification of the semester process is exhausted, the PPG will announce a new selection process so that the available scholarships are not left idle.

Below are the general criteria for awarding CAPES scholarships for the PPG-Rehabilitation and Functional Performance/FMRP.

– Students who prove that they have applied for a scholarship to FAPESP will be eligible to receive the master’s or doctorate scholarship.

– Students whose laboratories do not have any scholarships or who have the same minimum number of scholarships among the laboratories will be prioritized for the scholarship competition.

– The scholarships will be computed and awarded to the laboratories separately by master’s or doctoral level and will be intended only for students of permanent advisors of the PPG-RDF/FMRP.
– In the classification and ranking, the merit of the candidates for the scholarship will be considered, verified by the number of scientific articles published, the quality of the articles evaluated and the quality of the journal, considering its indexing and percentile, with the articles with the highest classification receiving a higher score according to the current CAPES standards. The position of the student in the authorship will also be considered, that is, being considered the first, second, penultimate or last authorship.
– Students with exclusive dedication to the PPG-RDF/FMRP, who do not have an employment relationship and who do not receive other types of scholarships permitted under the terms of CAPES Ordinance No. 133/2023, will receive an additional score in the selection process.
