We inform that the guidelines for UFSC students to apply for the 2019 ELAP (Emerging Leaders in the Americas Program) Scholarship will be made available on our website after the release of the application rules and procedures by the Canadian Government on the ELAP website.

The National Association of Directors of Federal Higher Education Institutions (Andifes) has launched a video about public universities in Brazil with information such as the fact that the ten most renowned universities in the country are public and free of charge and that more than 60% of the students come from lower social classes. The material is part of a national campaign promoted by Andifes in defense of the Brazilian public and tuition-free higher education.
