Through Law No. 14,818, of January 2024, the federal government regulated the Pé-de-Meia Program, which is a type of high school scholarship that serves as an incentive for low-income students to remain in school and not drop out of public school.
The program's goal is to provide financial assistance through savings accounts on behalf of students. The benefits include incentives for enrollment, attendance, and even participation in the National High School Exam (ENEM). See more details!
