In October, the Ministry of Education will announce the latest results on the initial allocation, renewal and call for free higher education. Meanwhile, the 2024 student benefit application dates will come into effect in the coming weeks.
Free tuition is a national boon, meaning students do not have to pay tuition fees or higher education fees during their degree. For this reason, this aid has a special availability date.
But it is the lowest-income 60% of the population that receives it. On the other hand, students must have some kind of undergraduate degree and be affiliated with the institution assigned to this stipend (in-person format only).
Therefore, the last publication of initial assignment results, updates, and appeals will be this Tuesday, October 3, 2023.
What are the requirements to take advantage of the free benefit and what are the important dates?
To define a student’s socio-economic classification, information collected through the Single Socio-Economic Accreditation Form (FUAS) submitted to the Ministry of Education is taken into account.
Please note that household income is calculated by adding together the income of family groups (children, elderly, disabled people).
