The IFSULDEMINAS is recruiting students for 360 open spots in the Preparatory Course Partiu IF, a free initiative aimed at 9th graders from public schools who wish to enter the Integrated High School. In addition to academic training, the program offers monthly grants of R$ 200, conditioned on a minimum attendance of 75 percent.
Enrollment is already open and will be available until March 5, 2026. The proposal combines reinforcement in essential subjects with financial support, creating a conducive environment for young people in situations of social vulnerability to expand their educational opportunities.
With a selection process by electronic draw, the project reinforces the Federal Institute’s commitment to inclusion and democratic access to federal technical education.

During this period, selected students will have structured pedagogical support and activities aimed at strengthening the knowledge base required in the selection process for the Integrated High School.
What Does the Preparatory Course Partiu IF Teach?
The free Preparatory Course Partiu IF has been organized to offer 320 hours of training, distributed between regular classes and reinforcement support. The structure includes:
- Portuguese Language with 40 hours of class and 40 hours of support
- Mathematics with 40 hours of class and 40 hours of support
- Natural Sciences with 40 hours of class and 40 hours of support
- Supplementary Practices with 40 hours of class and 40 hours of support
In total, each area receives balanced attention, ensuring that students not only review content but also delve deeper into questions with direct support from teachers. In this way, the program acts as a true academic leveling.
Moreover, the focus is on preparing students for admission to the Integrated High School of the Federal Institute, increasing the chances of approval and strengthening essential competencies.
Where Are the IFSULDEMINAS Spots in 2026?
The 360 spots in the IFSULDEMINAS selection process are equally distributed among nine cities. Each unit offers 40 spots, organized as follows:
- Inconfidentes
- Machado
- Muzambinho
- Passos
- Poços de Caldas
- Pouso Alegre
- Carmo de Minas
- Três Corações
- Itajubá
The spots include wide competition and also quotas for students with a family income of up to one minimum wage, self-declared as black, brown, or indigenous, quilombolas, and people with disabilities. Thus, the Preparatory Course Partiu IF expands access for groups historically impacted by social inequalities.
Who Can Enroll in the Free Preparatory Course?
To participate in the IFSULDEMINAS selection process, a student must meet all the requirements established in the public notice.
It is necessary to be enrolled in the 9th grade of Elementary School in 2026. Additionally, the candidate must have completed all Elementary School in a public school. Another essential criterion involves the situation of social vulnerability, proven according to the income rules defined in the public notice.
Therefore, this initiative is directed at young people from public schools who wish to compete for a spot in the Integrated High School but need academic and financial support to do so.
The Federal Institute of Southern Minas Gerais structured the project precisely to reduce barriers and strengthen educational trajectories.
How Does the IFSULDEMINAS Selection Process Work?
Enrollment is free and carried out through an online form. The deadline runs until March 5, 2026.
The selection occurs in two stages. First, an electronic draw will take place on March 6, 2026. Next, the drawn candidates will undergo a document analysis stage, where they must prove their schooling and income criteria.
The monthly grant of R$ 200 will be paid to selected students who maintain a minimum attendance of 75 percent in the activities of the Preparatory Course Partiu IF. In this way, the financial incentive also serves as motivation for constant participation.
The start of activities is scheduled for April 2026, with completion in December of the same year.
Enrollment for the Preparatory Course Partiu IF of IFSULDEMINAS remains open until March 5, 2026. Those who meet the requirements must fill out the form within the deadline and follow the stages of the electronic draw and document analysis.
