Scholarships for more 52 medallists

Scholarships for more 52 medallists

Instituto TIM-OBMEP Scholarships will benefit more 52 medallists of the Brazilian Public School Math Olympics (OBMEP) from this month on. They join the 48 university students who have already been receiving the R$ 1200 scholarship monthly since 2015, totalizing 100 young people from 41 public institutions of higher education.

The selection process, carried out in February, received 629 applications. The choice of the scholars was made by representatives of the National Institute of Pure and Applied Mathematics (IMPA) with the support of Instituto TIM, taking into account the academic quality and financial needs of the students. Due to two scholars left in 2015, one because of low academic performance and the other for changing to a non-included course in the call for bids, two students were chosen in addition to the 50 planned.

Students of 16 courses in 16 states have been selected this year, being Minas Gerais, São Paulo and Bahia the states which have more scholars. In addition to the monthly scholarship, with 12-month duration (renewable up to a maximum of 48 months), the scholars receive academic monitoring of university professors, working in OBMEP as regional coordinators. Following, you will see the universities and courses in which scholars are enrolled.
