Católica Fellowships for Portuguese American Students

Universidade Católica Portuguesa annually awards 5 grants to U.S. Students of Portuguese descent applying for Undergraduate (Licenciatura), Integrated Masters or Master degree programs in any field of study offered at the University, with the exception of Medicine.

Although the grants are awarded by UCP’s Schools, and each School is prepared to award one grant per year, in total, only 5 grants will be given each year.

The CFPAS are merit-based and consist of a full tuition and fee waiver as stated below:

• 3 academic years for a 3-year Undergraduate (Licenciatura)
• 4 academic years for a 4-year Undergraduate (Licenciatura) (Law/Nursing)
• 5 academic years for a 5-year Integrated Master’s (Dentistry)
• 2 academic years for a 2-year Master’s
