Based on the fact that the majority of vacancies in higher education is mainly in private schools in Brazil, this study aims to identify the profiles of the beneficiaries of the program University for All (ProUni). It considers three courses: Pedagogy, Medicine and Law. The research resource used was the evaluation of policies established in the field of public policies. The microdata collected, using the socio-educational questionnaire during the application of Enade between 2008 and 2013, were analyzed. These data allow us to conclude that ProUni has been successful in terms of its established goals of ensuring the access of poor young people coming from public schools, to higher education. However, the data also allow us to affirm that the program is limited in scope, since the differences identified among the benefitted students in the different courses suggest that there is a reiteration of the educational inequalities.

Keywords : EDUCATIONAL POLICIES; PROGRAM EVALUATION; PROUNI; EDUCATIONAL INEQUALITIES.
