# Brazil enacts ProUni university scholarships

Date: 2004

## The fact

On 13 August 2004 Law 11.096 created ProUni, federal scholarships in private higher education for low-income students.

## Context

MEC implemented quotas of tax-exempt seats. Neighbouring Bolsa Família is the parent social file. Private colleges sat. He did not sit as every rector.

Bolsa Família 20 October 2003 is neighbouring. Minha Casa 2009 is later housing. The 2003 oath is the parent term.

The President of Brazil heads the federal executive, sanctions statutes, and commands the armed forces as a political principal. He does not write STF judgments, INPE satellite pixels, a US tariff proclamation, or a Venezuelan CNE tally. Congress, governors, Petrobras, and coalition partners share specific files.

## Evidence and sources

Presidency of Brazil carries the official instrument or communique. Reuters records the same dated act independently.

## Significance

The path is [household purchasing power](/drivers/household-purchasing-power) and [social cohesion](/drivers/social-cohesion): a completed scholarship statute is a dated education-access instrument.

## What is established and what is not

Established: 13 August 2004 enactment of ProUni, independently reported.

Not established: a unique later wage coefficient from that Friday, or that public universities were thereby transformed.

What would change the picture: a contradictory original with a different date or name, a later repeal, a court that vacated the instrument, or a measured series that can be argued, with lag and alternatives, as a consequence of this instrument rather than of later institutions.

The date is the date of this instrument, not a licence to back-date every later harm or benefit.

He sanctioned. MEC and private colleges implemented.. A later repeal, court stay, or successor order would be a different Fact with a different date. That pair identifies Brazil enacts ProUni university scholarships, not a later speech about Brazil enacts ProUni university scholarships.

Co-authors and later implementers named in Context remain on the file. Brazil enacts ProUni university scholarships on 2004-08-13 is not a licence to treat every later Presidency of Brazil communique as this same act. If a later repeal, stay, or successor instrument exists, it needs its own date and its own row. This dossier refuses to average Brazil enacts ProUni university scholarships into a personality. The contribution described on this Person row is limited to Congress passed. He sanctioned. MEC and private colleges implemented. That limit is the alternative to treating office-holding as authorship of every later series.
