UU直播

Dear Colleagues,

听We are writing to highlight a great opportunity to recruit fully-funded Brazilian graduate students in excellent academic standing, through the Science without Borders program (SWB) /Ci锚ncia sem Fronteiras听听(CsF) program in cooperation with the听听(CBIE).听听This program provides full funding for PhD students to pursue their studies abroad for up to 4 years. 听Please see the funding formula below for more details. More information on this program is also available at: www.mcgill.ca/gradapplicants/funding/international/csf and

To facilitate the application process, the CBIE has agreed to provide scholarship management services to SWB/CsF applicants. CBIE is accepting applications from Brazilian students and forwarding them to the universities of their choice. Additionally, SWB/CsF applicants may already be contacting faculty members in your departments before contacting the CBIE.

听

If you have been contacted by a Brazilian applicant interested in attending UU直播 as a PhD student or conducting research as a visiting graduate student/postdoctoral fellow, please respond to this email with the following information:

• The applicant鈥檚 name and contact information
• Beginning term of study
• Program of study
• Name of potential supervisor

SWB/CsF funding model:

Full PhD (48 months):

• Paid Tuition
• Monthly living allowance: $1470 w/o dependents; $1740 with 1 dependent; $2010 with two dependents
• 1 time installation allowance: $1470 w/o dependents; $1740 with 1 dependent; $2010 with two dependents
• Monthly high cost city allowance per month: $452
• Health Insurance: $1200 per year w/o dependents;听 $1740 with 1 dependent; $2160 with two dependents
• Return airplane ticket

听

Additional notes:

• New student intake does not have to be at any specific date in the year.听 Offers of acceptance into a Doctoral Program (Full or Visiting) can be made to start at a date when your program would normally accept new students.
• Nevertheless, after candidates have received a letter of acceptance from UU直播, they need time to prepare and submit their scholarship application to CAPES; for CAPES to review applications and communicate their decisions; and finally to apply and secure a study permit to Canada.听 We estimate that 6 to 8 months are needed to complete all these steps.
• CBIE aims to facilitate the Canada-Brazil Ci锚ncia sem Fronteiras (CsF) Scholarship program student application and acceptance process.听
