Brazil Scientific Mobility Program Interviews

As an emerging economy, the Brazilian government has launched nationwide scholarship programs in order to strengthen the education and workforce of its people. Through the Brazil Scientific Mobility Program, thousands of Brazil’s brightest students in the fields of science, technology, engineering and math (STEM) are given the opportunity to study at some of the world’s finest universities. Scholarship recipients spend one year of study abroad and then complete their degrees at Brazilian institutions. The United States is currently hosting nearly 2,000 students from the Brazil Scientific Mobility Program.
