Accommodation
The search for accommodation, whether in university residences of the University of Porto or in private accommodation is up to the student. Here we identify some entities that offer accommodation in Porto specifically for higher education students. The School only intends to facilitate the access of its students to this information, not assuming any responsibility arising from any contacts that its students may have with these entities.
University Residence
The University of Porto has 8 university residences and 2 studios for the accommodation of its students, with priority being given to scholarship holders covered by the Scholarship System who, due to distance or difficulty of transport, cannot reside with the family during the school year.
Applications are made after enrolment, through the U.Porto Social Action Services
Scholarships
DGES scholarships
Scholarships are granted in accordance with the Rules for the Awarding of Scholarships to Students in Higher Education.
Solidarity scholarships
AAAFEP, in the framework of its partnership with FEP, AEFEP and SASUP, has launched a Solidarity Programme which aims to financially support underprivileged students of the Economics or Business Administration Degrees of FEP. This support consists of an annual subsidy equal to the amount of the approved tuition fee for the respective school year.

Social Action Plan (PAS)
It’s a FEP’s Students Union’s programme that has the objective to support scholarship students or students with economic difficulties, by offering AEFEP’s discount card – the AIÉ card – which includes discounts at the bar, on AEFEP products and services, at the Printing House, as well as offering meals, the payment of a limited number of improvements, among other benefits that make these students’ journey through the university easier.
The registration for this plan can be made throughout the academic year.

The scholarship is worth €2000 per academic year and includes a one-off additional support for a period of international mobility, Erasmus or other similar programme offered by each educational institution, worth €2000.
U.Porto Card
The U.Porto Card is the “identity card” for all members of the academic community, guaranteeing them privileged access to a wide range of services and advantages.
The result of a partnership with Caixa Geral de Depósitos, the U.Porto Card is a “smart card” that integrates different contact and contactless technologies that allow access to a wide range of functionalities and services within the university campus (library loans, access control, etc.).
Caixa Geral de Depósitos will be at the FEP from 12 to 15 September to help students obtain the U.Porto Card. To avoid queues and guarantee fast and efficient service, we recommend that you book your appointment in advance. Just follow these steps:
1. Access the booking platform;
2. Select “ATTENDANCE CGD CARTÃO U.PORTO”;
3. Choose the day and time that suits you best.
4. On the day of the service, present identification and the FEP enrolment form (preferably printed).
We have reserved an extended day for master’s students.
