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.

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.

How Does the IFSULDEMINAS Selection Process Work?

With billions in loans, China is rebuilding Nigeria’s railway network from scratch, abandoning the British colonial tracks that have turned to scrap and creating a corridor of over 1,300 km to take the load off the roads of Africa’s largest economy.

China is building an artificial island in the middle of the sea, covering 20 km², to construct the largest offshore airport in the world, the Dalian Jinzhouwan. This $4.3 billion project is anchored on more than 3,000 pillars embedded in the rock beneath the ocean and is scheduled to open in 2035.

Forget petroleum-based asphalt: a Scottish company transforms 684,000 plastic bottles into one kilometer of road that is 60% more resistant and up to 10 times more durable, and the technology has already started replacing traditional asphalt in more than 30 countries.

A British company has installed in the middle of the ocean the world’s first floating platform that generates electricity 24 hours a day from the temperature difference between the surface and the depths of the Atlantic, without relying on wind or sun.

Austrian engineers have developed an inflatable concrete technology that transforms flat slabs into domes using only air pressure, eliminating scaffolding and temporary forms, and potentially changing the way bridges, tunnels, and curved roofs are constructed worldwide.

A robot named Walter does the work of five bricklayers per hour and can save the construction industry, where the average age of professionals is 46 years and almost no one wants to learn the trade anymore, in the United Kingdom.

The James Webb telescope spotted a planet 700 light-years from Earth with mornings full of sand clouds and nights with clear skies, the temperature difference between the two hemispheres reaches an impressive 170 degrees.

The seemingly endless sand is disappearing: the world extracts 50 billion tons per year from rivers and beaches, a volume comparable to 19,000 pyramids of Giza, while mafias profit, islands disappear, and city concrete is threatened until 2050.

Scientists drill 8,000 feet of ice in Antarctica and race against time before the hole freezes over again to bury the world’s deepest seismometers and turn the South Pole into a giant ear for earthquakes across the entire planet.

Rice in space becomes a scientific bet for China to understand how microgravity can alter the genetics of the most important grain for Asian food security and reveal if future generations of the plant can be born, grow, and maintain their biological identity away from Earth.

How much would a Toyota Hilux cost without tax in Brazil? A diesel pickup truck priced at R$ 250,000 could drop to around R$ 127,000, showing why pickup trucks have become a luxury product in the country.

Windows without a prison-like appearance gain momentum in 2026 and promise to completely transform residential facades with more natural lighting, discreet security, increased property value, and a modern look without the burden of the old iron bars that dominated Brazilian homes for decades.
