Scholarship policies and facilitated access to education

At the Facens University Center, we believe that access to education is one of the main ways to achieve social equity, so we offer several scholarship programs, both partial and full, for our undergraduate and graduate students. In addition to them, there are also full scholarships for employees and dependents and mobility scholarships, available in shares of the International Relations Office (DRI) together with foreign partner institutions of the Facens University Center.

Each scholarship offered has the potential to change the course of an entire family's life, so we are grateful and proud to have so many inspiring stories over the past few years. We have also chosen to provide some means of flexibility so that our student can complete their course through student funding such as FIES and Fundacred. In commercial negotiations or financial arrangements, the facility of installment payment on the credit card and/or bank slip is also offered.

Cases and testimonials:

In 2022, our student Lourranny Loiola, who was a full scholarship holder throughout her education, graduated in Production Engineering. Learn about this story:

"When I took the entrance exam for Production Engineering, I knew that I would have difficulties paying for the course. It was then that I discovered the scholarship program offered by the college and decided to apply.

I got a 50% scholarship for the first year. In the second year, I applied again and was awarded a 100% scholarship. I continued studying and taking the ENEM, until I was selected by PROUni in the third year.

During my graduation, I had the opportunity to participate in several projects and meet incredible companies, such as Companhia Brasileira de Alumínio, where I currently work with Innovation and Digital Transformation. The assurance that my studies were guaranteed allowed me to focus on making the most of every opportunity and getting the best out of the learning process.

Facens' philanthropy was fundamental so that I could fulfill my dream of studying and graduating in Production Engineering and build a promising future. I am immensely grateful for this opportunity and hope that more students can access this once-in-a-lifetime chance to change their lives."

“I joined Facens in 2016 and fell in love with the place, that's when I discovered the scholarship for employees and their dependents and became very interested.

I worked at the concierge, few in the concierge, maintenance and cleaning area are interested in scholarships for fear of not being able to complete the courses.

I took the entrance exam at the age of 38 and the support I always had, from the beginning, was the strength I needed, I was very shy, but I had the opportunity to participate in several events and projects within Facens.

Within the institution itself I was able to do my mandatory internship and seven months later I was transferred to the new sector, today I have been a Process Assistant for almost seven months, I graduated as a Production Engineer and I started to study postgraduate studies in Integrated Management Systems (Certification in Lead Auditor), also through the Facens employee scholarship.

I have two more children studying Engineering with scholarships, one started as an intern in the Huawei sector, today he is a Junior Analyst and graduates as a Civil Engineer later this year. The other studies Production Engineering and graduates by the end of the year.

Today, at the age of 44, I can say that my name is Michele, a postgraduate Production Engineer in SGI and I work in the area of Quality & Processes, I have two future engineers, one of them already working. And it all started with the scholarship opportunity that Facens provides to employees and their dependents.

I cannot describe the gratitude and pride I feel when talking about Facens, but I can say that Facens has changed my family's life.”

“I took the entrance exam for Facens in 2018. I was excited to start the Computer Engineering course at one of the best private universities in the country. However, despite this enthusiasm, the concern about tuition was always a shadow that accompanied me. To reduce the tuition, I made the financing through Fundacred, which allowed me to pay only half of the amount while I was in college, and I would pay the rest as soon as I graduated.

During the first semester, I worked as a minor apprentice in a certain company. This work, however, was linked to the Administrative Assistant course I was taking at Senai and, consequently, as soon as I graduated from the course, I would also be dismissed from the company and, soon, I would no longer be able to continue paying the monthly fee.

And that's when something miraculous happened. During my graduation from Senai, at the end of the first semester of college, I had the great pleasure of meeting Thais and his Antonio Beldi. Two people who were introduced to me through a professor of mine from Sesi Sorocaba, Érica!

Chat goes, chat comes, I commented that the first semester of college was great, but that I was worried about the next ones, because the money I had saved only allowed me to attend one more semester.

Such was my surprise when three days later the Facens secretary had called me to attend college. I had no idea what it was about. Arriving there, they announced that I had won a Facens scholarship. My eyes filled with tears. “At least I'll have another semester guaranteed,” I thought to myself. He was already more than satisfied with that. But the surprise didn't end there. Then they announced that the scholarship would be 100% until the end of my college. And that's when I lost control of myself.

It's been one, two, three semesters... And today, after finishing the tenth semester and finally achieving the degree, I say that I only achieved this victory through this scholarship that was granted to me. I definitely wouldn't be where I am today if it wasn't for that.

I just have to thank Facens for this opportunity, and I hope that such an opportunity will be granted to others who, like me, have the dream of completing a course at one of the best universities in the country!”
