Resumo

The University for All Program (PROUNI) is a Brazilian public policy developed in order to increase the access to higher education. This program offers scholarships in private institutions for people who have low income. In so, the Government offers tax exemptions for these Universities. The Program has distributed over than 1.4 million scholarships for people with low income from 2005 to 2010. This work investigated the effectiveness of the Program by analyzing quantitative data through the Program own database and qualitative data from selected bibliography. Furthermore, it is also included in the context of other public policies which gives access to higher education and follows the perspective of Law and Development based on Sen and North’s approach. The quantitative data suggests that PROUNI has been effective. However, the qualitative evidences indicate some contradictory conclusions. They demand a better approach in the view of the large amount of variables.
