The Postgraduate Student-Exchange Program (PEC-PG) has become a significant mechanism in Latin America, allowing students from developing countries to access high-level education at prestigious public universities in Brazil. The 2026 call for applications includes 650 full scholarships for master’s degrees, doctorates, or research doctoral stays in various disciplines.
### What do the scholarships cover and how do they work
The program provides tuition exemption, health insurance, round-trip international airfare, and a monthly allowance to support students during their stay in Brazil. Three main modalities are offered: master’s degree, full doctorate, and sandwich doctorate, each tailored to different academic and research needs.
### Who can apply
Applicants must be citizens of countries with educational cooperation agreements with Brazil, without Brazilian nationality or permanent residency. Proficiency in Portuguese is required, along with specific academic qualifications depending on the chosen modality. The application process is free and online, with a deadline of September 29, 2025.
### A strategic investment for the future
PEC-PG not only benefits individual students but also strengthens Brazil’s role as an academic and scientific hub in Latin America. It fosters lasting connections and promotes academic cooperation between countries. In a global context where academic mobility is essential, these scholarships offer a valuable opportunity for those seeking advancement in the academic and scientific field.
