SUMMARY:

This research investigates contemporary Brazilian higher education law, focusing on one of its dimensions: student retention. This research examines student assistance initiatives as a means of reducing inequalities in undergraduate law programs at public universities in São Luís, Maranhão: UFMA, and UEMA. Based on the theoretical and normative framework, the hypothesis of this study is that guaranteeing the right to retention in undergraduate programs, as a dimension of the constitutional social right to education for low-income students in public undergraduate programs, depends on the implementation of student assistance initiatives as a means of reducing economic inequalities, which are the responsibility of public universities. To critically confirm or refute this hypothesis, we opted for empirical, qualitative research, consisting of the following stages: bibliographical research, documentary research, and field research through observation and the creation of a field notebook. The research will utilize an approach guided by legal reasoning, utilizing interdisciplinarity as required by its objective. The data will be interpreted using qualitative methods. Based on these data, it will be possible to assess, within scientific standards, the implementation of economic student assistance initiatives as measures to address student inequalities in the undergraduate programs studied. These initiatives are located in an underdeveloped region and are useful as an example of institutional approaches to addressing student inequality in highly unequal student retention in a highly unequal environment. Institutional experiences of successes and failures in implementing student assistance policies can be used in local solutions that enhance student assistance as a public economic and social initiative that positively impacts student inequality in undergraduate programs for low-income students.
