Uma análise estatística dos auxílios diretos e indiretos oferecidos pela assistência estudantil da universidade federal de uberlândia entre os anos de 2016-2023

Abstract

The present study presents a statistical analysis of student aid provided by PróReitoria de Assistência Estudantil (PROAE) of the Universidade Federal de Uberlândia (UFU) between 2016 and 2023. The study examines how direct aid (housing, food, transportation, digital inclusion) and indirect aid (university restaurant, student housing, pedagogical support) behaved over the years. The analysis considers the context of budget restrictions and impacts of the COVID19 pandemic, which increased the demand for assistance and influenced the distribution of aid. Descriptive and inferential statistical methods were used to evaluate distribution patterns and trends, identifying how social and economic changes affected the profile of aid granted. The results indicated significant variations in certain aid, such as the increase in digital inclusion and health care during the pandemic. It is concluded that student assistance plays a crucial role in equity in higher education, and this work offers support for the creation of more effective future policies that better meet students' needs and promote academic inclusion and permanence.
