Alagoas announces increase in scientific and technological initiation scholarships

The Alagoas State Research Support Foundation (Fapeal), a body linked to the State Secretariat for Science, Technology and Innovation (Secti), published this Wednesday, 8th, a new resolution updating the scholarship quotas granted for undergraduate students, allowing them to participate in scientific and technological initiation activities.

Through the Institutional Scientific Initiation Scholarship Program (Pibic) and the Institutional Technological Initiation Scholarship Program (Pibit), students can have the opportunity to experience science and technology, under the guidance of teachers and researchers during their professional qualification.

361 scientific initiation scholarships were established for seven institutions: State University of Health Sciences (Uncisal), State University of Alagoas (Uneal), Brazilian Agricultural Research Corporation (Embrapa), Federal Institute of Alagoas (Ifal), Federal University of Alagoas (Ufal), Cesmac and Unima/Afya.

According to Fapeal, each institution will have internal criteria for selecting scholarship holders. In the case of the two private university centers, the resolution requires that scholarships be awarded only to students in the public education network (schools linked to the State Department of Education and Ifal) or those who are in conditions of social vulnerability, that is, students who have a family income that does not exceed one and a half minimum wages.

The full resolution, with the Pibic quotas granted to institutions, is available on Fapeal’s official website.
