Public Lottery and Transparency in the Process
To ensure total fairness in the admission, the selection will be made by a public electronic lottery, scheduled for January 6, 2025.

In addition, the list of registered candidates will be announced on January 2, 2025, with each participant identified by their registration number, ensuring that everyone can follow the lottery without difficulties.

IFS demonstrates a strong commitment to inclusion and equity. Half of the places are reserved for students who completed all of elementary school in public schools.
Within this quota, there are specific subdivisions for self-declared Black, Brown, and Indigenous (PPI) individuals and for People with Disabilities (PcD), based on the proportion of each group in the state population, according to IBGE data.

This effort reaffirms IFS’s goal of democratizing access to quality education.
