Applications are now open for the Gladys Program, an initiative by PUCRS in partnership with HP, which grants three full scholarships for in-person undergraduate studies in Data Science and Artificial Intelligence, in addition to monthly financial aid throughout the course. The program is aimed at students with a per capita family income of up to three minimum wages and who have completed high school in a public school or as full scholarship students in a private school.

To participate, candidates must follow a selection process divided into ten stages, which includes submitting documentation, an online interview, a logic and mathematics test, and approval in the PUCRS Winter Entrance Exam.
