Twice a year the IFGW graduate program holds selection processes for admission in Masters and Ph.D. courses. Accepted candidates may receive a CAPES or CNPq scholarship administered by the program accordingly to their classification in the selection process. Together with a potential advisor, the candidate could also apply for a FAPESP scholarship, which offers significant advantages. The FAPESP scholarship application may be submitted even before acceptance in our program, since proof of registration is required only in the latter stage of the fellowship installation. Our courses'average durations are 24 months for Masters, 48 months for Ph.D., and 60 months for straight Ph.D. (without Masters).
