Therefore, the field of research was the projects submitted to the Dean’s Office of Community and Student Affairs at the Federal University of São Carlos. The research involved projects during the years 2019-2023. For the quantitative and qualitative research, the instrument used was the projects and their reports (final, project coordination, scholarship holder and user reports) that took place before, during and after the COVID-19 pandemic. In the systematization presented here, we started from the Public University for Whom path, relating it to themes such as Affirmative Action Policies and the Student Assistance Program, seeking to talk to policies and mechanisms that create environments that, in addition to inclusion, create spaces for permanence, bonding and support networks. To compose this rescue and contribute to the object of the research, a brief incursion was made into the Federal University of São Carlos with regard to its history in the battlefront for a public university for all and the Pro-Rectory of Community and Student Affairs, and important markers for the program's proposal that guided the research: 1) "How did the projects behave during this pre-pandemic, pandemic, and post-pandemic journey?"
