The Postgraduate and Master programs of NOVA Information Management School (NOVA IMS) are part of ISAºFJN, the scholarship program of José Neves Foundation.
This scholarship program, based on the Income Share Agreement model, allows students to benefit from a loan to pay the tuition, which is paid directly by the Foundation to NOVA IMS.
The scholarship awarded is refundable, since the tuition is returned to the Foundation later, when the student enters the labor market and receives a salary income above a pre-defined value. The repayment plan is adapted to each scholarship holder, being dependent on the expected income, according to the course in question.
