Professional Contributions

Fulfill your contribution hours by working professionally in partner institutions

What is Contribution?

The contribution is an obligation outlined in the benefit, assumed by the beneficiary student at the time of signing the Student Financial Assistance Contract (CAFE).

It primarily consists of providing services to the community for educational purposes, as a form of social return on the public investment made in the student's academic training, and may, as provided by the legislation of the benefit, also be fulfilled through reimbursement to the treasury.

1

Purpose

The contribution aims to promote the civic and professional development of the beneficiary, ensuring the social return on the public investment made through the benefit, by providing educational services that are compatible with the academic training and institutional guidelines.

2

Workload

The workload of the contribution to be fulfilled by the beneficiary varies according to the granted benefit, ranging from 120 (one hundred and twenty) hours to a maximum limit of 480 (four hundred and eighty) hours, in accordance with the Student Financial Assistance Contract (CAFE) and the program's regulations.

3

Deadline

The deadline for fulfilling the contribution is up to 2 (two) years, counted from the completion of the undergraduate course (graduation ceremony) or the formal interruption of the course, as applicable. While the student maintains an active academic link, there is no requirement to fulfill the contribution.

4

Consequences

If the contribution is not fulfilled within the deadline, the beneficiary may be required to repay the amounts invested through the benefit.
