Scholarship Announcements
The Postgraduate Program in Communication (PPGCOM) at the Federal University of Ceará (UFC) offers scholarship opportunities to support students in their academic journeys. These scholarships are essential to ensure that students can fully dedicate themselves to research, teaching, and outreach activities, thereby strengthening the program and the field of Communication.
Among the main types of scholarships available through PPGCOM, the Specific Scholarship Announcement for Program Quotas stands out. This announcement provides scholarships funded by renowned funding agencies such as CAPES (Coordination for the Improvement of Higher Education Personnel) and FUNCAP (Ceará Foundation for the Support of Scientific and Technological Development). These scholarships are available to both master’s and doctoral students and represent an important source of financial support for students regularly enrolled in the program. Each year, the PPGCOM Scholarship Committee issues a specific announcement to select the students who will be awarded scholarships. The number of scholarships may vary from year to year depending on the allocation of funds and the availability of new quotas from the funding agencies. Students must refer to the current announcement each year.
Another significant opportunity is the Sandwich Doctorate Program Abroad (PDSE), coordinated by CAPES. This modality allows doctoral candidates to undertake part of their training at prestigious foreign institutions, broadening their international experience and enriching their research with new theoretical and methodological perspectives. The PDSE is an excellent opportunity for doctoral students to expand their collaboration networks and gain experience in global academic contexts.
In addition to these primary selections, other scholarship opportunities may occasionally arise, generally linked to specific projects or institutional partnerships. However, the program quota scholarships and the PDSE are the main modalities that occur annually, forming the backbone of the financial support offered by PPGCOM to its students.
These initiatives reflect PPGCOM/UFC’s commitment to promoting the academic and scientific qualification of its students, providing adequate conditions for the development of high-impact research and the training of professionals equipped to work in the field of Communication. For more information on deadlines, selection criteria, and applications, interested parties should follow the announcements published on the program’s website and on the platforms of partner funding agencies.
This section is updated with each completed announcement. Ongoing announcements and stages should be consulted directly in the news section of the PPGCOM website or viewed through a category search.
