Programs and Social Projects

The Coordination of Social Projects at Unifesp’s Executive Vice-Rectorate of Extension and Culture centralizes the extra-mural actions of the Institution.

Its goal is to provide administrative and educational support to extension activities carried out on campuses participating in the planning of projects, programs, extension courses and events, publications, provision of services, as well as in the analysis, dissemination and evaluation of the extension actions of the University.

• to maintain a bank of positions available for the participation of undergraduate students in social projects;

• to control Unifesp´s extension scholarships assigned to students to participate in programs and extension projects through an annual selection process;
