This paper examines to what extent the University for All Programme – Prouni, developed in private higher education institutions context, has potential to generate social justice for lower background students. Initially, it focuses the understanding of social justice in the theoretical perspective of Nancy Fraser, which incorporates the redistribution and recognition claims in the context of morality, taking the universal principle of parity of participation as reference point. Secondly are presented both literature review about the programme and experiences of students, and interviews with Prouni students in a non-profit community university. Finally, from the mutual comparison between Fraser’s social justice conception on the one hand, and discussions presented about Prouni on the other hand, it is argued that the programme helps to generate social justice for lower background students.
