Abstract

As detailed in the main project, there is a growing amount of literature on inclusion programs that encourage indigenous students' permanence in undergraduate courses, but only for a few Brazilian universities. However, there isn't a mapping process that gathers information on the different forms of the selection process used across the board or even a broad view on the programs that encourage permanence in undergraduate courses in Brazilian universities. The objective of this research will be to do a bibliographic review on the topic, using the references already mentioned in the main project as a base. To supplement the information collected from publications, the contracted researcher will gather data available on the universities' websites and, finally, will conduct interviews with those responsible for monitoring services for indigenous students at a group of selected universities.
