About the Stay Grant Management System (SISBP) 

The Stay Grant Program was established in 2013 to minimize social and ethnic-racial inequalities and to assist in the retention and graduation of undergraduate students in situations of socioeconomic vulnerability at federal higher education institutions in Brazil. The Stay Grant Management System (SISBP) aims to manage actions related to the MEC aid grant program, especially student admissions and grant payments. The updates to the SISBP have not only occurred on the platform but also in considering current legislation to facilitate navigation, transforming the system into a more intuitive and user-friendly environment. Finally, the SISBP will bring more convenience to users, especially in facilitating the completion of registrations by students.
