This Thursday (30) is the last day for student private colleges that want to have the help of the Student Financing Fund (Fies) be able to enroll in the program. Entries must be made in Fies site and then validated with colleges.
The deadline ending on Thursday is only for new contracts. For those who already have the Fies, date to the renewal runs until May 29. The Fies allows students to attend a graduation at a particular institution and, after graduation, tuition at an interest rate of 3.4% per year. The student begins only pay after 18 months of completing the course.
Since the beginning of the year students have found it difficult to sign up. Starting with instability problems in the system. Then legal battle with supporters entities that were against the ceiling established by the Ministry of Education of 6.4% adjustment in tuition. We had student protests and even minister of trade in the middle of it all.
Ask questions about the Fies
With more restricted budget, MEC limited credit for Fies institutions and courses with better performance. In addition, since March 30 access to Fies was restricted to students with a grade equal to or greater than 450 points in Enem and greater than zero in the newsroom. President Dilma Rousseff recognized that the federal government was wrong to leave the control of Fies in the hands of private colleges and MEC took over the distribution of enrollment.
The result can be seen in the numbers of new FIES contracts over the years. In 2010, year of the program's debut, there have been 75,900 contracts. In 2011, 153,900. In 2012, 368,800. The following year, in 2013, the figure rose to 556.5 new contracts. In 2014, a record: 732,200 new entrants in Fies.

Student with low note can not be automatically excluded from Fies
Many students complain that they can not make the registration and fear being without the aid the expiration.
To avoid losing students, some colleges have sought alternatives. In Belo Horizonte, a university offered its own financing. In this case, students pay 50% of tuition for the course and the other half after training.
However, the minister Renato Janine Ribeiro Education warns that the student should pay attention to interest and not go into debt beyond what can compromise their future income. Students who are already part of Fies may not resort to this option and should be renewed.
The minister said the students seeking renewal will be met. "I guarantee that anyone who has refinancing, have a month of time and, this month, will give to solve all their situations. They [students] have to stay calm," said Janine.
