Universities and research funding agencies invest on scientific initiation (SI) grants every year, providing opportunities to junior and senior researchers to choose students for a paid activity on SI. SI is an important activity for the university students' studies, with constructive outcomes to his(her) professional future. At the same time, the researcher receives aid for the development of his(her) work and, at the beginning of his(her) career, he(she) is preparing for future supervising on a graduate level. This paper presents four points to consider with respect to SI, based on bibliography studied, on experiences and free observations or informal talks. With no intent to close the discussion on the topic, the goal of this paper is to share ideas and encourage undergraduate students that may be interested on SI and also encourage junior researchers to embrace students on this important activity for their professional path, either chosen to be professional or academic.
