If selected, scholarship winners will receive a full tuition and fee waiver for any two-year master’s program that is offered at the Universidade Católica Portuguesa. Applicants must be U.S. citizens of Portuguese decent and must have graduated college with at least a 3.0 GPA and must maintain that GPA for the program in order to have their scholarship renewed for the second year. If the program selected by the student is fully taught in Portuguese, proof of Portuguese fluency must be sent in with the application. Further, based on the program selected, applicants may also be required to pass interviews or write specific essays as part of their application.
