Foundation offers scholarship that covers living costs for students in the USA

The Garcia Family Foundation (GFF) is an arts, culture and education charity located in the United States. It aims to help make education accessible to everyone.

For this reason, since many other institutions and universities have scholarship programs that grant tuition fees exemption , the GFF offers a scholarship that covers the cost of living for those who go to the USA to pursue undergraduate or postgraduate studies. So it's a wonderful program for those who were accepted to study in the USA without a full scholarship.

What the Garcia Family Foundation Scholarship Covers

The program aimed at Brazilians will grant 10 scholarships for undergraduate and postgraduate studies in the USA. The benefit amount is $7,000 annually. Scholarships can be renewed for both undergraduate and postgraduate studies. Anyone who is not included in the program in this year's edition can try to compete again next year, in 2025.

The ideal candidate is a Brazilian student who has already been accepted into a North American university and is already in the United States. All fields of study are covered by the GFF. Low-income students are particularly encouraged to apply.
