Abstract

PIRES, André. Performance of Scholarship and Non-scholarship Students enrolled in Social Sciences Undergraduate Course between 2012 and 2015: Graduates and Dropouts. Rev. Int. Educ. Super. [online]. 2024, vol.10, e024041.  Epub Apr 29, 2025. ISSN 2446-9424.  https://doi.org/10.20396/riesup.v10i00.8665302.

Introduction/Objective:

This article analyzes the performance of students of the Faculty of Social Sciences of PUC-Campinas entering the period from 2012 to 2015.

Methodology:

The corpus of the research comprises 115 students who took 5,867 subjects in the period. Socioeconomic information is presented for students who entered through the General Vestibular (GV), through ProUni and through the University's own scholarship system (Social Vestibular). The performance is analyzed considering the students who graduated and those who suspended the course.

Results:

The results show that the presence of scholarship recipients in the course does not imply lower grades or a drop in the course performance. The students' trajectory throughout the course varied significantly over the semesters.

Conclusion:

Actions related to permanence can be considered and executed considering oscillations observed throughout the semesters, in which issues such as age, form of entry, type of institution, course and curriculum should be taken into consideration.
