Research grants have not received readjustments since 2013, that is, they have been at the same level for a decade. As a result, scholarship holders have already lost nearly two-thirds of their purchasing power, according to the National Association of Graduate Students (ANPG).
President Luiz Inácio Lula da Silva, in his first two terms, carried out three readjustments in the stock exchanges, the first being in 2003, shortly after assuming the Presidency of the Republic. At the time, the stock exchange master's degree was worth BRL 724, while the doctorate was BRL 1,073. In 2010, the values were R$ 1.2 thousand and R$ 1.8 thousand, respectively.

The last readjustment in relation to master's and doctoral scholarships occurred while Dilma Rousseff was President of the Republic, as already mentioned, in 2013. Thus, master's scholarships increased to R$ 1,500, while doctoral scholarships went to R$ 2,200, exactly the same value as they currently are.
However, despite so many years with the value stagnant, this Thursday, 19, the Minister of Education, Camilo Santana, said that the Government should announce, still in the first month of the year, the readjustments for scholarships from the Coordination for the Improvement of Level Personnel Higher (Capes), as well as for the National Council for Scientific and Technological Development (CNPq).
Santana also said that, from the moment the readjustment is announced, the values should already take effect immediately. “The idea is that by the end of this month the president can announce the readjustment of scholarships, both from Capes and CNPq”, he explained.
Finally, it should be noted that neither Camilo Santana nor any other member of the Federal Government has mentioned the index that will be used for such readjustments. So the value is still unknown.
