Since the implementation of the University for All Program (PROUNI), by Law 11.096/2005, countless Brazilian students have benefited from access to private higher education. Considering the period of 2007, when publications started until 2017, there was an interest in analyzing scientific productions about the Prouni students' experience. To this end, a systematic review study was carried out, in master dissertations and doctoral theses, in the database of the Brazilian Digital Library of Theses and Dissertations (BDTD). The protocol for the systematic review proposed by Schiavon (2015, p. 54-72) was used, in its following phases: 1- Validation on the existence of the review on the topic; 2- Elaboration of the review protocol; 3- Application of the review protocol; 4- Analysis of the collected studies. 31 publications were found in this study and, of these, 9 were doctoral theses and 22 master's dissertations. The study showed several perceptions about Prouni, but what stands out is that it is seen by the majority as a program that does not democratize Brazilian higher education, because although this policy allows access to higher education, it is not concerned with the permanence of these nor guarantee the universality of the right to higher education for all young Brazilians. It can also be concluded that these students belong to a working social class and that they face several difficulties to remain in the university environment, difficulties that go far beyond the economic scope and have implications for the students' subjectivities.
