At Católica Global School of Law, we are committed to supporting students from around the world in achieving their academic and professional ambitions. Scholarships play a key role in making advanced legal education more accessible, and we are proud to announce new opportunities available for the upcoming academic year.
Gov.pt – Portuguese Government Scholarships
The Portuguese government manages gov.pt, the national portal for public services and education support. Any scholarship listed there is fully state-recognized and reliable, ensuring that students have access to dependable funding opportunities.
Applicants interested in public funding are strongly encouraged to explore gov.pt directly. For personalized assistance in understanding or applying to these scholarships, students may also contact our Admissions Office at catolica.law.sede@ucp.pt.
CADOS / Amélia de Mello Foundation Scholarships
In partnership with the Católica Doctoral School (CADOS) and the Amélia de Mello Foundation, a limited number of scholarships are available for outstanding students pursuing Master’s or Doctoral programmes.
This initiative reflects Católica’s ongoing commitment to academic excellence across all disciplines, including law, and provides meaningful support for students striving to reach their full potential.
ELSA Scholarships
Through a partnership with the European Law Students’ Association (ELSA), scholarships are available for students who are active members of the association.
These awards strengthen our ties with the international legal community and promote the development of young legal professionals with a global outlook.
Fundação José Neves Scholarships
The Fundação José Neves offers innovative “Income Share Agreement” (ISA) scholarships that allow students to finance their education without upfront costs. Repayment is only made once graduates achieve stable professional income, making advanced education at Católica more accessible and flexible.
