The impact of the Social Inclusion Program of the University of São Paulo on the access of public school students to free public higher education was analyzed. The data were collected, prioritizing information about income, race and other aspects of interest related to public schools students in various stages of the vestibular. As a result, a significant contribution of the added scoring system for the inclusion of students from public schools was observed. However, the continuous and intense decrease in the percentage of public school students in the vestibular has contributed to the decrease the impact of social inclusion policies implemented, indicating the need for a more effective approximation between university and public schools, as well as the expansion of the social inclusion actions in development in order to revert this trend.
