The research analyzes the Student Funding Fund (SFF) for private higher education, created in 1999 by Fernando Henrique Cardoso’s Government. In 2010, the Presidency of Luiz Inácio Lula da Silva, program rules were changed, causing the SFF to peak in 2014, when it hit 1 million contracts. Those changes, as well as promoted access caused distortions under the program, and new legal mechanisms were used later. Changes in the policy of funding between 2010 to 2018, amid the disparities and contradictions and Brazil's economic and political crisis, together the experience and the immediate contact with the object, urged to this study. The object was: the relationship of alumni financed with both the SFF and the higher education institution (HEI) in which they studied. The study tried to answer the following question: What academic, social and economic developments resulting from the SFF can be identified in the life trajectories of the financed graduated by the program? To answer it, the study outlined a periodization between 2010 to 2018. A quali-quantitative approach to exploration, predominantly qualitative, based on the bibliographical material, documentary analysis, on empirical observation and semi structured interviews and questionnaire. It was opted for the interpretation and reflective analysis of the data under the prism of the dialectic. Eight students were interviewed and also applied a semi-structured questionnaire to 341 students, all freshmen on the same course and private HEI in the period from 2012 to 2013 by SFF. To complement the data, semi-structured interviews were conducted with: seven teachers active in the classroom, with the interviewed alumni, before, during and after the period of 2010 to 2014. The main objective was to identify academic, social and economic developments resulting from the Fies, seeking to interpret them so as to achieve a deeper understanding of this policy, its impact and consequences in life trajectories graduated/the financed/the program. The survey results indicate that, on the one hand, encourages the subject historically excluded from access to higher education; at the same time and on the other hand, under the neoliberal dictates, the universalization of social rights, in the dealt case, of higher education, the social policies targeted to sectors of the population that economically, socially and culturally speaking, are on base of the social pyramid. The SFF allowed access to higher education for those who otherwise wouldn't have it, in addition, promoted the commodification-privatization-enterprising of education at this level of education. A diploma is not the only determining factor and maybe it's not the most important, whereas a precarious basic and higher education, the relevance of a questionable academic title in the labor market and the actual conditions of life of the most hired SFF, especially in the period from 2010 to 2014. The SFF represented the possibility of a dream, which already brings a nightmare in its bulging debt. The realization of a dream that can, paradoxically, be in the way, being a debt of preventing, to the realization of other dreams as insertion in the labor market and social rise
