The article presents the outcome of a research on the quality of courses which offered scholarships through the University for All Program (ProUni), a policy implemented in 2005, whose purpose is to grant scholarships to undergraduates in private higher education institutions. Quantitative analysis was conducted for the courses with ProUni scholarships in São Paulo-SP in 2014, using assessment data from the Course Preliminary Rating. Results showed that selected courses providing ProUni scholarships followed the tendency in the assessment results, as they were similar to overall results of higher-education courses in Brazil. However, some courses have no rating or are not legally acknowledged, shedding uncertainty on the quality provided. Differences were also found in the results according to the academic degree (bachelor’s or technology), type of scholarship (full/partial) and area of knowledge.

Keywords : Higher education; Assessment of higher education; Educational policy.
