Scholarship allocation at PPGCS\/UFRRJ follows criteria prioritizing social and racial equity, per CEPE\/UFRRJ deliberations and guidelines from CAPES and FAPERJ. Distribution is as follows: 50% for Black, mixed\u2011race (parda), and indigenous students registered with Cad\u00danico earning up to 1.5 minimum wages per person; 30% for students on the Cad\u00danico social quota; and 20% based on general ranking. For the next quadrennium, the program will review these rules to further include gender and maternity criteria.<\/p>\n
The quota admission policy allows quota candidates to progress through selection stages with minimum scores of 5.0 (instead of the 7.0 required for general applicants). Quota candidates who score above 7.0 also compete in the general pool, ensuring no opportunities are lost.<\/p>\n
In addition to quotas for PPI and economically disadvantaged students, PPGCS participates in UFRRJ\u2019s Institutional Qualification Program, offering master\u2019s and doctorate opportunities to technical-administrative staff.<\/p>\n
UFRRJ actively addresses access and retention in graduate programs through its Affirmative Action policy, anchored in Deliberation 270\/2021. Developed by its Graduate Affirmative Action Policy Commission (CPAAf\u2011PG\u2011UFRRJ), the policy expands opportunities for historically marginalized groups, aligned with MEC\u2019s Normative Ordinance n\u00ba\u202f13\/2016. Initially for Black, indigenous, and disabled students, it now includes trans, travesti, quilombola, and refugee individuals. In 2023, UFRRJ pioneered trans graduate quotas.<\/p>\n
Beyond access, the university implements retention policies\u2014student housing, financial assistance, scholarships, and a subsidized University Restaurant.<\/p>\n
Accessibility is also prioritized: the Accessibility and Inclusion Center (NAI) provides pedagogical support and methodological adaptations for students with disabilities, in compliance with federal laws like the Brazilian Inclusion Law.
\nUFRRJ also welcomes foreign students via the Center for Foreign Visitors (NAVE), under the International Relations Coordination, reaffirming its commitment to inclusive and democratized higher education.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
