📋 Tender Overview
Since November 2025, the Ministry of Education (MEC) has made available an official channel so that students participating in the Pe-de-Meia can check their status in the program. The consultation page brings all information about the initiative in a simple, transparent and accessible way and can be accessed from any computer, cell phone or tablet, on the MEC portal, through the students gov.br account.
The information available on the page is updated periodically, based on the processing of data sent by state and municipal education departments and federal education networks. The database created by the MEC consolidates all program information.
Data - Among the essential information for monitoring student participation in Pe-de-Meia, made available by the consultation, are registered personal data -- such as name, date of birth and CPF. Checking how the data was registered makes it easier to correct information with the school or the Single Registry for Social Programs (CadUnico), when necessary. It is also possible to check the eligibility status, with explanatory messages that indicate whether or not the student meets the program criteria.
Another central point of the consultation is monitoring school attendance. The platform presents both the accumulated attendance throughout the academic period and the monthly attendance status. Maintaining the minimum frequency is one of the criteria for receiving the incentive monthly. The student can also monitor the payment status of each installment -- whether it is paid, sent for payment or blocked -- as well as the scheduled dates for deposits.
Conclusion-The MEC started paying, on Thursday, February 26th, the last installments for the 2025 academic year, intended for those approved in the 1st, 2nd and 3rd years of secondary education, as well as those completing the exams who participated in the two days of the National Secondary Education Examination (Enem) 2025. Payment takes place between February 26th and March 5th, 2026. Students can now check their data and the status of other payments for the 2025 academic year.
