According to the announcement, the 20 monthly scholarships of R$ 5,000 are linked to the Residency Program, with selection of candidates who, once approved, will carry out in-person activities related to the demands of the contracted entities.
The scholarship is indicated as being paid by TJMS, EJUD, or PGE-MS.

Workload and Format of Classes
The announcement establishes that the Technological Residency Program totals 360 hours dedicated to theoretical-practical activities of the specialization course, in addition to 30 weekly hours of in-person activities at TJMS, PGE-MS, or in a location authorized by the partners.
Part of the weekly time may be directed to study and guided research.
The subjects, according to the document, are offered in a hybrid modality, using the UFMS Virtual Learning Environment, combining synchronous remote and in-person meetings, according to the course schedule.
Furthermore, the announcement establishes the official time of the State of Mato Grosso do Sul as a reference.
Who Can Participate in the Selection
The selection process is aimed at graduates in fields related to Information Technology and related fields, such as Computer Science, Computer Engineering, Software Engineering, Information Systems, and related training linked to Exact Sciences, Technology, and Engineering.
The list of examples appears in institutional communications about the selection.
On the other hand, the application requires attention to what is formally provided in the announcement, which defines rules, documents, and deadlines, in addition to addressing slots by modality, affirmative actions, and specific conditions for servers included in reserves.
