A ULisboa lançou, em 2015, um Programa de Bolsas de Doutoramento. Reconhecendo a importância que o financiamento dos estudantes tem para o desenvolvimento dos sistemas económico e científico, procurou-se assim criar condições para que os jovens investigadores concretizem o seu potencial.

Entre os anos de 2015 e 2017, a ULisboa atribuiu 180 bolsas a doutorandos de diferentes áreas de saber. As bolsas atribuídas são renováveis por 3 anos.

Umberto Adriolo defende a tese "Nearshore hydrodynamics and morphology derived from video imagery".

Diogo Nuno Proença Rico Silva defende a tese "Phylogenomic and population genomic insights on the evolutionary history of Coffee Leaf Rust within the rust fungi".

André Emanuel Pinheiro Bastos defende a tese "Impact of the feeding cycle upon the neuronal membrane properties of rat hippocampal neurones: the involvement of voltage-gated sodium and calcium currents and the maintenance of plasma membrane organization".

Sara Carolina Gusmão Coito Madeira defende a tese "Evaluation of thermal stress in tropical marine organisms in the context of climate warming".

Virgílio Alexandre da Silva Marques Bento defende a tese "The use of remotely sensed Land Surface Temperature for climate monitoring".
