The Exchange Program for Undergraduate Students (Programa de Estudantes-Convênio de Graduação – PEC-G) provides students from developing countries with which Brazil maintains educational, cultural or scientific and technological agreements the opportunity to pursue their undergraduate studies in Brazilian Higher Education Institutions (HEIs).

Related to this program, the Ministry of Education (MEC), through The Milton Santos Project for Access to Higher Education (Projeto Milton Santos de Acesso ao Ensino Superior – PROMISAES) offers a financial aid to PEC-G students regularly enrolled at a Federal HEI to support their studies. The Ministry of Education transfers the budget to the HEI so that they, through a call for applications, transfer the grant to the students contemplated.

However, in 2021, the Universidade Federal de Santa Catarina (UFSC), did not get any information from the Ministry of receiving the resource, and many students are seriously suffering from socio-economic insufficiency.

Thus, in order to minimize the negative impact of the situation, UFSC will provide, on an extraordinary basis, the value of a monthly permanence grant to the students.

The Universidade Federal de Santa Catarina will continue waiting to receive the total amount from MEC to provide the financial aid to the students on a monthly basis.

The Central Administration of the Universidade Federal de Santa Catarina (UFSC) announced this Thursday, 12 March, several measures to be taken at UFSC from Monday, 16. They include the suspension of large events such as graduations and ceremonies, as well as a protocol for the university community to follow in case of trips and contact with infected people.

For now, the decision is not to suspend on-campus classes. “We believe that, with measures such as the suspension of large events and the communication of trips and contact with confirmed cases, we will be able to prevent people who have any COVID-19 symptom from attending classes. Another important factor is to focus on the most vulnerable populations, such as older adults. The profile of the majority of our students does not fit this group. This does not prevent students, faculty or administrative staff members who show any symptom from seeking medical attention and following the recommended protocol of staying at home”, informs the UFSC Rector, Ubaldo Cesar Balthazar.
