📋 Tender Overview
Participants who complete high school in 2025 and take part in the two-day test of the National High School Examination (Enem) can receive an additional incentive of R200.

The second day of the exam will take place next Sunday, November 16th, in the 27 units of the Federation, when participants will solve natural science and mathematics items.

Pe-de-Meia-Pe-de-Meia is a financial-educational incentive program aimed at students enrolled in public secondary education who are beneficiaries of the Federal Governments Single Registry for Social Programs (CadUnico). Its objective is to democratize access and reduce social inequality among young people, in addition to promoting educational inclusion and stimulating social mobility.
The program offers beneficiaries who have school attendance above 80% a monthly incentive of R200; an amount of R1,000 deposited into savings at the end of each academic year in which the student is approved; and the additional bonus for participating in Enem. In total, high school savings accounts serve about four million students across the country.
Enem-O evaluates the academic performance of students at the end of basic education. Over more than two decades of existence, Enem has become the main gateway to higher education in Brazil, through the Unified Selection System (Sisu), the University for All Program (Prouni) and the Student Financing Fund (Fies).
Public and private educational institutions also use Enem to select students, as a sole criterion or as a complement to selection processes. Individual Enem results can also be used in the selection processes of Portuguese institutions that have an agreement with Inep to accept exam scores. The agreements guarantee easy access to grades for Brazilian students interested in pursuing higher education in Portugal.
