The Brazil Initiative is seeking to augment undergraduate students’ opportunities to study and eventually travel to Brazil via early exposure to Portuguese language training. Scholarship winners are selected on the basis of how well the study of Brazil fits into their overall academic and career goals.

Undergraduate students who complete Portuguese 280 in winter, 2019, an accelerated class for Romance Languages Speakers, are eligible to apply for a $500 Brazil Initiative Scholarship for Portuguese Language Study. In addition, enrolling in Portuguese 280 would also make you eligible to apply for a Foreign Language and Area Studies fellowship.

Application is open to all U-M undergraduate students studying the Portuguese language at the University of Michigan during winter 2019.
