From the 1990s two movements were part of the Brazilian reality, the expansion of Higher Education and the centrality of Social Assistance, through the Transfer of Income. In the city of João Pessoa, the University Transfer Grant Program (PBU/JP) provides financial aid in order to minimize the effects of the lack of socioeconomic conditions of its students living in poverty, inserted in the Social Assistance Program. This work aims to analyze the Program mentioned and its perspective for student staying at Higher Education. The specific objectives are to analyze the legal and institutional aspects of the Program, to outline the socioeconomic and educational background of the beneficiaries and to identify the extent to which it contributes to student stay in Higher Education. As fas as method, it is a qualitativequantitative research that uses the technique of content analysis for data interpretation, through the dialectical historical method in order to capture the movements that surround the object. As for the procedures, it is a documentary and bibliographic research, exploratory as well as analytical-descriptive. Public records, such as the regulations of the Program, were used as sources of primary research, focusing on the 07 Annual Activity Reports of the PBU / JP, whose temporal cut was 7 years (2010-2016), since these documents cover the objectives of the research. In order to identify other programs of a similar nature, a survey and general characterization of other counties and state programs implemented in Brazil was carried out in order to have some comparative parameters. In this sense, it was observed that the PBU / JP was a pioneer, also being the only one to offer a direct income transfer, contributing so that the university can use the resource according to its demand. The results of the research confirmed the hypothesis that PBU/JP is a palliative, focalistic and selective action, however, it alleviates social inequalities, considering that to a certain extent it has the perspective of contributing to student stay at the upper level of the impoverished segments. Having attended an average of 800 students during the time of the research, but revealing a very high demand of 1,817 students who were not classified. Among the beneficiaries, a relevant data is that 593 are students of public universities demonstrating that the low-income people have had greater access to public higher education. Regarding permanence, it is inferred that it contributed, since of the 800 beneficiaries, 363 of them remained in the Program until 2016. Data that lead to infer its relevant social and economic function in society.
