COVID-19 imposed measures of social distance, which caused economic impacts, to some countries. The Brazilian government has proposed measures to resolve this impact, including emergency aid for self-employed and informal workers. At the same time, the functioning of the Brazilian stricto sensu graduate program has a history of precariousness that makes the scholarship holder have the economic profile of the beneficiary of this aid. The development agencies authorized the accumulation, but the moral question still remains: should the scholarship holder request it? The study problematized this question based on data from a questionnaire answered by 63 members of Brazilian graduate groups.
