SILVA, RODRIGO MONTEIRO DA y CUNHA, MARINA SILVA DA. THE IMPACT OF PROUNI ON ACADEMIC PERFORMANCE: AN ANALYSIS OF GENDER AND RACE. Est. Aval. Educ. [online]. 2020, vol.31, n.76, pp.164-194. Epub 26-Ago-2020. ISSN 1984-932X. https://doi.org/10.18222/eae.v31i76.6929.
This study aimed to assess the impact of the Programa Universidade para Todos [University for All Program] (Prouni) on the performance of the students served by the program’s scholarships between gender (male and female) and race (blacks and whites) groups. The study used propensity score matching with microdata from Enade 2016. The descriptive analysis showed an increase in the number of full and partial scholarships provided over the years and a concentration of scholarships in the Brazil’s Southeast region. We found that being a man, black and with a family income of less than 1.5 minimum wage increases the probability of being served by the program. The results suggest that Prouni’s impact on students’ performance in private universities was significant. The Prouni increases the average performance of students receiving full scholarship, mainly for men and for blacks; moreover, in the analysis of the four undergraduate programs with the largest number of full scholarships, the greatest impact was among women.
