CAPES – Remunerated Activities for Fellowship Students  PDF

REMUNERATED ACTIVITIES FOR FELLOWSHIP STUDENTS

A request for a remunerated activity should be communicated through a letter from the student advisor to the CCP (Graduate Program Coordinating Commission) which justifies it in terms of the student’s academic formation. Based on this justification, the CCP may veto this request if it is not deemed of interest in terms of the student’s academic formation or involves a workload above 12 hours per week. It’s also important to note that the fellowship will be cancelled if the advisor does not inform the CCP of this justification or if the fellowship student breaks established fellowship rules. This activity can only be authorized after the beginning of the fellowship.
