The dates for the program are usually early June to mid-July each summer. Application Deadline is April 1st. Students who cancel after the deadline are fully responsible for any and all penalty charges incurred by ground transportation, hotel and university fees, lodging and other expenses related to tourism excursions. One year of Portuguese is suggested but not required for admission. Because the group size is limited, however, participants will be chosen on the basis of their language skills, interest in Brazil, and grade point average.
All applications are subject to approval by the organizers of the program.
Recipients are chosen among UT students only, and selection is based on merit and demonstrated interest in the Portuguese language and Brazil.
