Based on the data present in the map of Brazilian higher education, only 18.1% of young people between 18 and 24 years old are enrolled in higher education, while 17.4% of young people aged 25 or over completed graduation.
This number is considered below the targets established by the National Education Plan (PNE), in which it is expected to reach about 33% of young people in the educational field in the next three years. In view of this, the Kroton educational group developed the “Sponsor a student” project, with the aim of connecting people to these low-income young people who suffer from the issue of studying, especially in universities.

The company, in partnership with Neooh, will promote full scholarships to young people who are in situation of social and economic vulnerability, so that they can enter universities and obtain a graduation. The initiative was determined at the end of November 2021, however, only in April did the project move forward.
The program will function as a source of donations of varying amounts, starting at R$ 5 per day. The amount can be fixed and paid in different ways such as Pix, credit card or bank slip. From this collection, the beneficiary will have a scholarship for 18 to 36 months, and he can be selected through a selection process or by the donor himself directly.
Finally, edtech Ampli sponsors one more young person for every five contemplated, in addition to offering more than 60 digital and remote undergraduate courses. The project's goal is to reach around 1,000 students by the end of this year.
