SANTOS, Clarissa Tagliari. Ações afirmativas no ensino superior: análise do perfil socioeconômico e da experiência universitária de bolsistas do ProUni na PUC-Rio. R. Bras. Est. Pedag. [online]. 2012, vol.93, n.235, pp.770-790. ISSN 2176-6681.

This study analyses the integration of the students benefited from the University for All Program (ProUni) into the Pontifícia Universidade Católica do Rio de Janeiro (PUC-Rio). The ProUni is sponsored by the brazilian government and has the goal of expanding the access of low-income population to higher education in Brazil. The research sample included freshmen from 2005 to 2010 of three courses of PUC-Rio. The socio-economic profile of these students and the main difficulties and incentives to stay in the university were outlined from questionnaires and interviews. The results indicate that the program acted as a positive mechanism for the inclusion in the university of groups historically excluded from higher education, although stresses the importance of mechanisms to ensure the graduation of the benefited population.

Keywords : Affirmative Action; Higher Education; University for all Program.
