MEC published Edital nº 51/2026 for the Prouni second-semester 2026 selection process. The edital set the calendar, participation rules, and procedures for candidates seeking full or partial scholarships.

What Changed?

The official selection calendar for Prouni 2026/2 was issued, opening a defined July registration period and later call schedule.

Old System vs New System

Before

Candidates could not apply for Prouni 2026/2 until the second-semester selection calendar and procedures were published.

After

The process uses the published edital for registration, calls, documentation checks, and list-waiting stages for the second semester of 2026.
