The Easiest Pathway to Tuition-Free Education in Brazil: How the PEC-G Program Works for Nigerian Students

-


If you’ve been dreaming of studying abroad but the costs seem out of reach, Brazil’s PEC-G Program could be the game-changer you’ve been waiting for. As a Nigerian student, you can access tuition-free undergraduate education in Brazil through a fully recognized government initiative — and the best part is, it’s real, accessible, and already changing lives.

In this post, we’ll explain how the PEC-G program works, who’s eligible, and why Mastertrip Travels is your fastest route to getting started.

🌎 What Is the PEC-G Program?

PEC-G (Programa de Estudantes-Convênio de Graduação) is a Brazilian government initiative designed to offer free university education to students from developing countries, including Nigeria.

It’s a partnership between the Brazilian Ministry of Foreign Affairs and the Ministry of Education, and it enables eligible students to complete their undergraduate studies at no tuition cost in Brazil’s public universities.

🎓 What Makes PEC-G Different?

  • ✅ 100% Tuition-Free: You don’t pay school fees — the government covers your education.

  • 📚 Study at Top Public Universities: Join some of the best institutions in Brazil.

  • 🌍 Cultural Exchange: Meet international students and experience rich Brazilian culture.

  • ✈️ Visa Support: Students are supported by Brazilian embassies through the process.

  • 🗣️ Portuguese Language Support: You’ll be required to take a 6-month language program to prepare.

📌 Eligibility Criteria for Nigerian Students

To apply through the PEC-G route, you must:

  • Be between 18–25 years old

  • Have completed WAEC or NECO with strong grades (min. 60%)

  • Provide a birth certificate, school transcript, testimonial, and passport

  • Commit to learning Portuguese

  • Show you can cover living expenses or have a sponsor

If you don’t already speak Portuguese, Brazil allows you to join a preparatory course (PEC-PLE) before your university program begins.


📝 How to Apply (with Mastertrip’s Help)

  2. Join the Portuguese Language Training (6 months, online)

  4. Receive admission + visa and prepare to travel



💸 What Does It Cost?

With Mastertrip, the cost is ₦600,000 NGN, which covers:

  • 6-month online Portuguese course

  • Application support
