PET
The Tutorial Education Program (Programa de Educação Tutorial – PET) provides favorable conditions for the development of intensive academic activities alongside selected groups of students that demonstrate potential, interest and outstanding skills. The program develops new pedagogical practices through active participation of scholarship holders, approximating students and professors at the institution, hence promoting the unification of the three dimensions that characterize the basic functions of the university: Education, Research and Outreach. PET’s scholarship holders receive a
monthly scholarship from the Higher Education Secretariat (Secretaria de Educação Superior) of the Ministry of Education (Ministério da Educação) during the period of affiliation to the program.
