To be admitted to the program, candidates may apply at any time through a continuous admission process. This process involves submitting a completed application form, along with supporting documentation (see details below). The application documents will be reviewed by a Program’s Committee. If the candidate meets the minimum required score, they will be eligible to enroll within a period of seven months from the date of approval.
The scholarship award process is separate and involves a classification process, which includes a General Chemistry test. This process is initiated by a call twice a year, approximately one month before the test dates (February or March for the first semester, and August or September for the second semester). Please check the program’s website frequently, as calls are announced exclusively there. If you are foreign, please require that the text be done in English.
Candidates may apply for the scholarship classification process without prior admission through the continuous admission process. However, if selected for a scholarship, candidates must complete the admission and enrollment process within the established deadlines to receive the scholarship.

Fellowship distribution
The scholarships belonging to the program quota will be distributed according to the classification of those interested in the basic knowledge test in Chemistry.
To apply for the scholarship distribution process, candidates do not need to be enrolled in the Graduate Program. However, if a scholarship is granted, candidates must submit the required admission documents, be approved, and complete enrollment within the specified timeframe. The Program will review submitted documents promptly
Students who are already enrolled and who want to apply for a fellowship must apply only for the scholarship exam, filling in the specific registration form and forwarding it to the Graduate Office of Campus Diadema.
