The Ministry of Education (MEC) released today (2) the result of the first call for the University for All Program (Prouni). The result can be consulted at program website. Prouni is a program created in 2004 and, since then, it offers full or partial scholarships in private colleges to low-income students.
First-call students will have March 3 and 4 to verify the information provided in the application. The result of the second call will be announced on March 21 and selected students will have between March 21 and 29 to prove the information. The waiting list will be available for consultation on April 4 and 5.
To have access to the full scholarship, the student must prove gross monthly family income of up to 1.5 minimum wage per person. For the partial scholarship, the gross monthly family income must be up to three minimum wages per person. It is also necessary that the interested party has completed high school in a public or private school with a full or partial scholarship.
In this year’s edition, the program will consider the last two editions of the National High School Exam (Enem) for admission to undergraduate or sequential specific training courses. In Enem, the candidate must have achieved at least 450 points of average grade and cannot have scored 0 in the essay. Until then, the rule in force was that only the grade of the last edition of Enem, the one immediately prior to the selection process of Prouni, could be used by candidates to enter the program.
