The current decentralized format for selecting scholarship recipients is noteworthy. Brazil’s National Council for Scientific and Technological Development (CNPq) will publish the list of selected institutional proposals on its website in December 2026.
Once the list is published, candidates must register directly with the selected higher education/science and technology institutions (HEIs/STIs), which will conduct their own selection processes.
Interested students are advised to review the specific criteria for each graduate program (PPG).
Interested parties are also encouraged to consult the following official sources of information on the PEC-PG:
CNPq Website (the list of higher education institutions and research centers selected to offer PEC-PG scholarships will be published through December 2026 in the "Access to Information - Scholarships and Grants - Published Results" section)
PEC-PG Page on the DCE Website
