This study aimed to identify the socioeconomic profile of students assisted by student welfare at the Federal University of Santa Catarina in the years 2019, 2021, 2022, and 2023. The research encompassed socioeconomic data related to the mode of university entrance, race, income profile, and gender. The study follows the methodological path of quantitative research, being descriptive in its purpose. Data analysis revealed a reduction in the total number of registered students, from 4,213 in 2019 to 3,279 in 2023. Most students registered with Prae entered the university through public school quotas with an income of up to 1.5 minimum wages and self-identified as white. The income range of R$3 00.01 to R$ 1.000.00 includes the largest number of students registered with Prae. The results indicated a slight predominance of female students over the studied years. These findings enhance the understanding of the socioeconomic dynamics influencing student retention in higher education, serving as a basis for future research and public policy formulation.
