This paper presents a discourse about the Student Assistance Policy and conditional social protection in the context of neoliberalism in Brazil. It seeks to identify the place of student assistance in social protection and the limits of student assistance on neoliberal hegemony. The research has as a reference the policy of permanence in the scope of the Federal University of the Recôncavo of Bahia - UFRB, a policy focused on permanence in higher education as a social right and expansion of citizenship. Emphasis is placed on the process of reforming higher education by strengthening the privatization of public higher education institutions.
