The scholarship consists of a monthly stipend to aid in the costs of attending the U.Porto. Economically disadvantaged students are thus supported in bearing the financial burden of not only school supplies and tuition fees, but also housing, food, transport, and other costs.

Students from Portugal, other European Union member states, or countries that enjoy a cooperation protocol with the U.Porto (excluding the International Student Statute), according to the conditions established by the Ministry of Education and Science in the Regulations of Attribution of Scholarships to Higher Education Students, may apply for these scholarships. The scholarship is awarded and renewable on an annual basis.

Merit scholarships

Aside from normal scholarships, the U.Porto awards merit scholarships each year to the students ranked at the top of their class. This scholarship consists of a monetary prize – equalling five times the minimum national salary in effect – and is intended for students enrolled in a bachelors, masters or integrated masters course who show exceptional academic performance, independently of their socio-economic status.
