Orange Tulip Scholarship (OTS) Brazil is a program administered by Nuffic Neso Brazil awarding scholarships exclusively for Brazilians. The OTS focuses qualify students for excellence, which have good academic performance. Nuffic Neso Brazil launched OTS Brazil in 2013 with a short-term first call. Although the preparation time and the application period for students was short, and only few institutions could join, the program was very well received and attracted a lot of attention from the local and specialized media.
