Signing up is easy – hop online to the Portal for Access to Higher Education. You’ve got until January 28th to get your name in the hat.

Who can apply? Basically, if you’ve finished high school and done well enough in the last couple of Enem exams (2024 or 2023), you’re eligible. You need at least 450 points on average and can’t bomb the essay. This is aimed at people from public schools, those who got scholarships at private schools, or if you’re a public school teacher looking to get better at teaching.

There are two types of scholarships: full, where everything’s paid for if your family earns up to 1.5 times the minimum wage per person, or half-off if it’s up to three times.

The first list of who gets in comes out on February 4th, and if you don’t make it, there’s another chance on February 28th. Didn’t make either? No worries, you can sign up for the waiting list later in March.

Prouni is celebrating 20 years of changing lives, having helped over 3.4 million students, especially women and black students, to get through college. And guess what? If you join this program, you’re way more likely to actually finish your degree than those who don’t.

So, if you’re ready to take your education to the next level, jump on this opportunity starting today.
